Laser time-of-flight mass spectrometry for space
We describe a miniature reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer for in situ planetary surface analysis. The laser ablation mass spectrometer ~LAMS! measures the elemental and isotopic composition of regolith materials without any sample preparation or high-voltage source extraction. The small size (,2310 cm) and low mass ~;2 kg! of LAMS, due to its fully coaxial design and two-stage reflect...
متن کاملElemental and redox analysis of single bacterial cells by x-ray microbeam analysis.
High-energy x-ray fluorescence measurements were used to make elemental maps and qualitative chemical analyses of individual Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIMB 11764 cells. Marked differences between planktonic and adhered cells were seen in the morphology, elemental composition, and sensitivity to Cr(VI) of hydrated cells at spatial scales of 150 nm. This technology can be applied to natural...
متن کاملEvaluation of Transfer Evidence
The question of whether two sets of measurements which constitute evidence come from the same source is one which is frequently sought to be answered by the forensic community. A common type of evidence comes in the form of glass fragments where the refractive index or elemental composition has been measured The most common way of evaluating trace evidence such as glass fragments is the likelih...
متن کاملPossible in situ Tests of the Evolution of Elemental and Isotopic Abundances in the Solar Convection Zone
Helioseismology has shown that the chemical composition of the Sun has changed over its lifetime. The surface abundance of helium and heavy elements is believed to have decreased by up to 10% relative to their initial values. However, this reduction is too small to be tested by direct observations of the photospheric chemical composition. Here, we compare the predicted variations in the solar p...
متن کاملLiquid Chromatography Tandem Mass/Mass Spectrometry for the Quantification of Fudosteine in Human Serum without Precolumn Derivatization
A quantitative analysis method for fudosteine in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS/MS) was established, which shows high sensitivity and selectivity. The mobile phase composition was 75% 20 mM acetic acid and 25% acetonitril, which was pumped at a flow rate of 0.40 mL/min. The overall chromatographic run time was ...
