Key Details
Official Description
Mass spectrometers provide unparalleled chemical detection and identification, specifically by use of high-resolution system or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Field portable mass spectrometers have been commercialized for decades and have led to the ability to detect chemicals of concern at the source. Unlike traditional mass spectrometry where sample preparation is required to get analytes into a form factor amenable for analysis, ambient ionization mass spectrometry has demonstrated proxima...
