Abstract Since hyphenated methods have all but replaced one-dimensional methods in the laboratory and demands for definitive field methods are increasing, hyphenated methods may well represent the next generation of field-portable analytical instruments. Gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) are discussed in terms of their current capability and potential for further development as powerful field-portable instruments.
