This article deals with the state-of-the-art instrumentation and application in the field of solid state gas sensorics, ion mobility spectrometry and mass-spectrometry-related research for the detection and measurements of low gas and vapor concentrations. The advantages and disadvantages of gas-analytical devices and systems are discussed, as well as the possibilities of its complex and/or complementary applications. Ion mobility spectrometry–mass spectrometry and subsequent techniques based on solid-state gas sensors are proposed for planned medical study.
