  • High sensitivity mass spectrometry systems
    Patent number: 8716657
    Abstract: A high sensitivity desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry system that employs a heated platform, along with means for directing a liquid stream containing an analyte of interest onto a target location on the heated platform to heat the stream, an electrospray emitter for generating an electrospray and directing the electrospray at the target location on the heated platform to produce an ionized, desorbed analyte, and a mass spectrometer for receiving and detecting the ionized, desorbed analyte.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2014
    Assignee: Illinois State University
    Inventor: Christopher C. Mulligan
