“…All main components of a GC system, the injector, column, and detector, are shrunken to achieve better portability [ 22 ]. Due to low ambient concentrations, a simple preconcentration column with thermal desorption is most common as an injection unit [ 21 , 103 ].…”

“…Samples can be brought into the system directly, by thermal desorption or by solvent desorption. Numerous different applications are now known for this purpose [ 13 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. The separation of components is performed on mostly nonpolar columns followed by a detector, e.g., a flame ionization detector (FID), electron capture detector (ECD) or other more specialized detectors [ 13 , 23 ].…”

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of interest in many different fields. Among them are food and fragrance analysis, environmental and atmospheric research, industrial applications, security or medical and life science. In the past, the characterization of these compounds was mostly performed via sample collection and off-site analysis with gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as the gold standard. While powerful, this method also has several drawbacks such as being slow, expensive, and demanding on the user. For decades, intense research has been dedicated to find methods for fast VOC analysis on-site with time and spatial resolution. We present the working principles of the most important, utilized, and researched technologies for this purpose and highlight important publications from the last five years. In this overview, non-selective gas sensors, electronic noses, spectroscopic methods, miniaturized gas chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry and direct injection mass spectrometry are covered. The advantages and limitations of the different methods are compared. Finally, we give our outlook into the future progression of this field of research.

“…Meanwhile, more than 30 different portable MS devices with various mass analyzers have been developed. However, the miniaturization of MS instruments, including the ionization process, the vacuum system, and the power supply, is accompanied by a loss of performance [154,155]. For this reason, portable MS devices in the food sector have so far mainly been used for targeted approaches.…”

The analytical requirements for food testing have increased significantly in recent years. On the one hand, because food fraud is becoming an ever-greater challenge worldwide, and on the other hand because food safety is often difficult to monitor due to the far-reaching trade chains. In addition, the expectations of consumers on the quality of food have increased, and they are demanding extensive information. Cutting-edge analytical methods are required to meet these demands. In this context, non-targeted metabolomics strategies using mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers (mass spectrometry [MS]) have proven to be very suitable. MS-based approaches are of particular importance as they provide a comparatively high analytical coverage of the metabolome.Accordingly, the efficiency to address even challenging issues is high. A variety of hardware developments, which are explained in this review, have contributed to these advances. In addition, the potential of future developments is highlighted, some of which are currently not yet commercially available or only used to a comparatively small extent but are expected to gain in importance in the coming years.

“…In 2016, Cooks and coworkers presented a comprehensive review on both the instrumentation and applications of portable MS systems [15]. In recent years, several excellent reviews focusing on various aspects of portable mass spectrometers have been presented [16–20]. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of recent progress in both the instrumentation and applications of portable mass spectrometers and our perspective on their connection to ‘omics analyses.…”

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an information rich analytical technique and plays a key role in various 'omics studies. Standard mass spectrometers are bulky and operate at high vacuum, which hinder their adoption by the broader community and utility in field applications. Developing portable mass spectrometers can significantly expand the application scope and user groups of MS analysis. This review discusses the basics and recent advancements in the development of key components of portable mass spectrometers including ionization source, mass analyzer, detector, and vacuum system. Further, major areas where portable mass spectrometers are applied are also discussed. Finally, a perspective on the further development of portable mass spectrometers including the potential benefits for 'omics analysis is provided.
