Ion Mobility Spectroscopy

詳細技術說明

Improved Analysis of Aerosol ParticlesImprovements to drift tube ion spectrometers allow charged particles to be analyzed with increased sensitivity and shorter measurement times. The new configuration uses a different type of detector and unique sample inlet method that allows for detailed analysis and measurement of aerosol particles in samples.MN-IP Try and BuyTryTrial period up to 18 months. $5000/6 months.Fee waived if MN operating company or if sponsoring $50,000+ in research.BuyExclusive license for a $15,000 conversion payment.U.S. patent expenses due upon issuance.5% Royalty (4% for MN companies) after $1 million in product sales.** View the Term Sheet **** Contact Kevin Nickels for specific details. **Higher Sensitivity Ion Mobility SpectrometerIon mobility chambers are used to measure the drag coefficient of charged particles or molecules. There are two types of ion mobility chambers; differential mobility chambers (DMAs) and ion mobility spectrometers (IMS). DMAs, which are generally used in aerosol particle analysis, are limited by low resolution, long measurement times and high gas flow rates. Ion mobility spectrometers do not allow for ambient sampling and have low sensitivity. This invention involves an improved configuration for ion mobility spectrometry which increases sensitivity and allows the analysis of charged species such as aerosols. Potential applications include environmental monitoring for aerosol particles, high throughput screening for active chemicals, vapor uptake measurements for research purposes and detection of explosives, drugs and chemical weapons.BENEFITS OF IMPROVED DRIFT TUBE ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY:Improved instrumentation that is fast, high resolution and allows for ambient sampling.Can sample charged particles.Improved sensitivity allows for the detailed analysis of aerosol samples.
