Effect of the humidity on analysis of aromatic compounds with planar differential ion mobility spectrometry ORIGINAL RESEARCHEffect of the humidity on analysis of aromatic compoundswith planar differential ion mobility spectrometryAndriy Kuklya Florian Uteschil Klaus Kerpen Robert Marks Ursula TelghederReceived: 1 October 2014 /Revised: 11 November 2014 /Accepted: 11 November 2014 /Published online: 19 November 2014# Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate that humidity is acrucial parameter for analysis of aromatic compounds of lowpolarity with planar differential ion mobility spectrometry.Utilization of polar modifiers which are usually applied forthe improvement of separation ability of DMS based systemsdoes not improve the separation of aromatic compounds.Moreover, the peak area of the model compounds decreaseswith the increase of the modifier (water vapors and 2-propanole)concentration.Theinfluenceofthepolarmodifierson the DMS separation ability was proven on examples of thesix aromatic compounds (BTEX, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene(TMB), and naphthalene) and one aliphatic compound (hex-ane). The influence of the modifier concentration on thecompensation voltage, peak area, and peak width was inves-tigated and discussed. The strong influence of the protonaffinity of analytes on the peak area in the measurements withmodifiers was demonstrated. Some notable aspects of theformation of the reactant ion positive are demonstrated anddiscussed.Keywords Differentialionmobilityspectrometry(DMS) .Highfieldasymmetricwaveformionmobilityspectrometry(FAIMS) .
