DIFF Subgroup
G01N 27/622

Ion mobility spectrometry

Introduced: January 2021

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Investigating or analysing materials by the use of electric, electrochemical, or magnetic means > by investigating the ionisation of gases, e.g. aerosols; by investigating electric discharges, e.g. emission of cathode > Ion mobility spectrometry

CPC:

Investigating or analysing materials by the use of electric, electrochemical, or magnetic means (G01N3/00 – G01N25/00 take precedence; measurement or testing of electric or magnetic variables or of electric or magnetic properties of materials G01R) > by investigating the ionisation of gases, e.g. aerosols; by investigating electric discharges, e.g. emission of cathode > Ion mobility spectrometry

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2021.
