“…Because of its low detection limits, simplicity, short analysis time and relatively low cost, IMS was first introduced to screen explosives at airports and to detect chemical warfare agents in military (Ewing, Atkinson, Eiceman, & Ewing, 2001). IMS was recently developed as a powerful analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of target analytes such as toxic compounds (Sheibani, Tabrizchi, & Ghaziaskar, 2008), drugs (Saraji, Bidgoli, Khayamian, & Moradmand, 2011), food (Márquez-Sillero, Cárdenas, Sielemann, & Valcárcel, 2014, and edible oil (Garrido-Delgado et al, 2014;Shuai et al, 2014), as well as a field screening detection systems (Hajialigol, Ghorashi, Alinoori, Torabpour, & Azimi, 2012). Additionally, IMS could also be used for untargeted metabolite analysis such as the systematic study of unique chemical fingerprints of small molecule metabolites in biological samples (Alonso et al, 2008).…”
