  • Mass spectrometer system
    Patent number: 8334504
    Abstract: This invention describes an analytical system where a kinetic impact ionization source is combined with an RF-only ion guide to form a mass spectrometer system for analysis of the elemental and chemical composition of exoatmospheric particles. The kinetic impact ionization source may be used to transform a flux of particle debris into a beam of ions for analysis by a mass analyzer.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 18, 2012
    Assignee: Microsaic Systems PLC
    Inventors: Alan Finlay, Eric Yeatman, Alex Onischenko, William Boxford
  • Mass Spectrometer System
    Publication number: 20110127423
    Abstract: This invention describes an analytical system where a kinetic impact ionisation source is combined with an RF—only ion guide to form a mass spectrometer system for analysis of the elemental and chemical composition of exoatmospheric particles. The kinetic impact ionisation source may be used to transform a flux of particle debris into a beam of ions for analysis by a mass analyzer.
