Photonis USA (Sturbridge, Massachusetts) has signed a sponsored research agreement with the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Atlanta, Georgia) to design and develop a prototype of a new ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) analyzer, using patented technology from Photonis.
Photonis USA (Sturbridge, Massachusetts) has signed a sponsored research agreement with the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Atlanta, Georgia) to design and develop a prototype of a new ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) analyzer, using patented technology from Photonis. The new product can be custom-manufactured to interface with a range of mass spectrometers or other sources to reduce the overall complexity of IMS analysis.
A key component in the IMS analyzer is Photonis’ resistive glass, which creates an electric field to guide or direct charged particles. The glass consists of alkali-doped lead silicate glass that has been reduced to make the surface a semiconductor, and can be drawn into custom shapes for use in ion guides, drift tubes, capillary inlet tubes, ion mirrors, collision cells, conversion diodes, or voltage dividers.
Low Water Analysis Reimagined: Instant NIR Measurements for Quality Control & Process Upgrades
March 5th 2024Elena Hagemann, Product Manager for Process Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA, discusses a novel synchronized, automatic calibration data collector. This system eliminates the laborious calibration process of prediction model development without manual sampling. This capability allows moisture measurement systems to be calibrated at the factory down to approximately 7 ppm and to be installed in pipelines and reactors without additional calibration effort.
