Patent Status

Country Type Number Dated Case
United States Of America Issued Patent 9,805,921 10/31/2017 2014-210
 

Brief Description

UC Berkeley researchers and others developed a new experimental setup for spatially resolved ambient infrared laser ablation mass spectrometry (AIRLAB-MS) that uses an infrared microscope with an infinity-corrected reflective objective and a continuous flow solvent probe coupled to a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer is described. 

Suggested uses

  • laser ablation and mass spectrometry
  • devices for plume capture of laser ablated samples for mass spectrometry and spectroscopy

Advantages

The transfer efficiency is significantly higher than values reported for similar techniques.
