Ambient infrared laser ablation mass spectrometry (AIRLAB-MS) with plume capture by continuous flow solvent probe

Patent Status

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
