Development of new laser desorption and ionization processes for use in high-performance SPMS (AEROmass)

TBI-V-1-042-W-015

Project discription

The AEROmass project aims to develop innovative methods for the analysis of single-particle aerosols for environmental, process, and safety applications. The focus is on the precise chemical and physical characterization of aerosol particles to better understand their impact on the environment and safety. New approaches will be developed for studying airborne particles such as dust, pollutants, or biological pathogens. These technologies are intended for use in environmental monitoring and critical safety areas such as personal protection and forensic analysis. Through close collaboration with research institutions, such as the University of Rostock, the commercialization of these analytical methods will be advanced, leading to new insights into aerosols and enabling the early detection of their risks​.

The project partner is Photonion GmbH, which is working on the subcomponents inlet system, bipolar mass spectrometer and data acquisition.

This project is co-funded by the European Union by the European fonds for regional development. Operational program is Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2021-2027 - Investitionen in Wachstum und Beschäftigung
