Mass spec à la laser· Inficon introduces a microprobe solid state mass spectrometer to significantly advance your analytical a n d research technology. Your microprobe analysis detection limits have now been realistically extended far beyond your imagination. Inficon's new LAMMA 500 is why. Its laser microprobe, coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer gives you mass spectra of unheard of sensitivity and lateral resolution—for virtually any type of solid sample. Now, you can apply all the versatility of mass spectrometry to both organic and inorganic samples—or mixes—with microprobe selectivity. The LAMMA 500 lets you analyze so much more. Or so much less.
spectrometer produces the complete mass spectrum for each laser shot in either positive or negative ions. In less than one second, and you can change samples in less than three minutes. • Lateral resolution • Depth of analysis • Detection limit • Detectable concentration • Mass resolution (lead isotopes) • Speed of analysis • Sample changing time

medical studies of tissue, and forensic science. It has been applied to analyzing single atmospheric dust particles both from the environment, and absorbed in tissue, investigating inclusions in polymers, and other small defects in any type of material regardless of whether the substrate and defect are organic, inorganic, or both.
