DAPCI – Ambient
Ionisation Source
- Plasma Source is a custom designed ambient ionisation source that can be coupled to a mass spectrometer for analysis of a range of compounds in the solid phase.
- The primary application is the detection of drugs and explosives at border security checkpoints.
- The ionisation mechanism and ease of use means it has the ability to perform ambient analysis by trained personnel with non technical expertise.
Technology:
- Miniaturised Ionisation source
- Battery Operated for in field use
- Intuitive User Interface
- Lightweight and small footprint
- Fast operation (no warm up time)
- No sample preparation needed
- Integrated Heating Element for improved Ionisation efficiency
Applications
To detect:1. Controlled substances
2. Explosives
3. Polymers
4. Hydrocarbons
5. Medical biomarkers
