  • Chemical analyzer with membrane
    Patent number: 10985000
    Abstract: A system for analyzing an analyte is described herein. The system includes a chamber having an inlet and a semi-permeable membrane arranged to seal the inlet. The semi-permeable membrane includes a cross-linked mixture of a first compound and a second compound. The system can also include a radiation source arranged in the vacuum chamber, the radiation source spaced apart from the semi-permeable membrane and adapted to irradiate the semi-permeable membrane with electromagnetic radiation at a frequency at least partially absorbed by the semi-permeable membrane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2021
    Assignee: INFICON, Inc.
    Inventors: Kenneth Charles Wright, Guido F. Verbeck, IV

  • Controlled kinetic energy ion source for miniature ion trap and related spectroscopy system and method
    Patent number: 7838820
    Abstract: An ion trap mass spectrometry system adapted for portability and related method includes an ion source for generating ions from a sample to be analyzed, and a resistive drift tube coupled to an output of the ion source for receiving the ions injected therein. The resistive drift tube decelerates the ions to provide cooled ions having a mean translational kinetic energy of less than 5 keV. A miniature ion trap or trap array, such having apertures <1 mm, is coupled to an output of the resistive drift tube for trapping the cooled ions. A spectrometer is coupled to the miniature ion trap for analyzing the cooled ions.
