  • SUBSTRATE WITH MATRIX-FREE NANOSTRUCTURED HYDROPHILIC ANALYTE SPOTS FOR USE IN MASS SPECTROMETRY
    Publication number: 20190323139
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a matrix-free nanostructured substrate for use in mass spectrometry. The substrate may preferably include one or more localized analyte spots for placement of an analyte, where each analyte spot may comprise a nanostructured metal oxide or semiconductor containing nanotubes or nanopores. The substrate may further include unstructured metal, metal oxide, or semiconductor that is not nanotubular or nanoporous in the part of the substrate that surrounds each of the analyte spots. In some embodiments, the nanostructured metal oxide or semiconductor may be chemically or structurally modified, and the analyte spots may additionally or alternatively include secondary nanostructures such as nanorods, nanoparticles, nanocoatings, or nanotubes. This may facilitate energy transfer to the analyte for matrix-free laser desorption/ionization.

  • Low-slope pH electrode
    Patent number: 8900433
    Abstract: A low-slope pH electrode (100) is provided according to an embodiment of the invention. The low-slope pH electrode (100) includes an electrode body (102), a pH-sensitive glass (122) fused into the electrode body (102), with the pH-sensitive glass (122) including a predetermined area, and a mask (124) formed over a predetermined portion of the predetermined area of the pH-sensitive glass (122) in order to form a low-slope pH characteristic. At least a portion of an ion exchange performed by the pH-sensitive glass (122) is blocked by the mask (124).
