As they suspected, a small layer of each sample's surface atoms was transformed into ions and the ion funnel quickly pulled them into the
mass spectrometer, which identified the samples.
Development of the TETHYS
mass spectrometer was supported by a research grant from the National Ocean Partnership Program.
Nu Instruments, based in Wrexham, makes
mass spectrometers used for geological studies to establish the origins and the fate of rocks.
Although the range of new product introductions at this year's ASMS meeting did not match the scale or scope of last year, there were still a number of significantly new
mass spectrometers and related products that will no doubt have a major impact on the mass spectrometry market.
Unlike conventional
mass spectrometers, which are cumbersome laboratory instruments that weigh more than 300 pounds, the new handheld device weighs less than 20 pounds and can be used in the field.
The company designs, develops, and manufactures
mass spectrometers for the scientific and medical industries.
For these applications, automated testing systems using helium
