• Abstract: The next revolution in mass spectrometry will result in instruments that are useful to a greater number of scientists and applicable to a wider range of problems. Elements of this development will include (i) sampling in an ambient environment with normal sampling handing and processing (ii) fieldable miniature mass spectrometers (iii) ambient ion/molecule chemistry (iv) miniature mass analyzers requiring minimal pumping (v) multiplexed mass spectrometers in which multi-channel instruments are used to simultaneously analyze multiple samples and (vi) preparative mass spectrometers, to create micro-arrays of biologically active compounds. Developments and instruments which further these objectives will be described.
