　　A companion to Volume V: Applications of Ion Trapping Devices, this volume explores recent advances in this expanding field. It covers new methods for trapping ions, such as the Orbitrap™, the digital ion trap, the rectilinear ion trap, and the toroidal ion trap; the development and application of the quadrupole ion trap and the quadrupole linear ion trap; and the introduction of high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry. The book explains all terms, acronyms, procedures, and equations in a style readily accessible at the graduate level and presents a common writing style that enables readers to appreciate the commonalities of topics.
