Abstract
A compact integrated ion mobility based analysis system includes at least one gas chromatograph (GC) column that receives a sample and elutes constituents of the sample where each of the eluted constituents are temporally separated from each other The system also includes at least one ion mobility based sample analyzer that analyzes the eluted constituents based on their ion mobility characteristics. The system further includes a controller that selectively adjusts the temperature within at least one GC column over a period of time and selectively adjusts the temperature within at least one ion mobility based sample analyzer over a period of time.
