Abstract

The chemical sciences have been profoundly influenced by the development of advanced focal plane array detectors. The incorporation of existing technologies developed for infrared multiplexers has already had a positive effect on the fields of isotope ratio mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry. Multiplexer based ion detectors have improved detection limits by several orders of magnitude over conventional Faraday cups while maintaining a high degree of stability.
