Spray Desorption Collection

    A novel general purpose surface sampling method based on desorption electrospray ionization (DESI).

  1. BulletSample any analyte, soluble in many different solvent systems, directly from surfaces

  2. Bullet Collect directly onto the appropriate collector for subsequent analysis step eg quartz cuvette for UV analysis.

  3. BulletUse any analysis/detection technique including Paperspray, DESI-MS, GCMS, LCMS, UV, IR, XRD etc.

  4. BulletUnlimited pre-concentration during sampling.
