Aerosol mass spectrometry

Single particles can be characterized by this time-of-flight system!

On-line combustion analysis

The on-line time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with photoionisation is suitable for the analysis of combustion aerosols directly at the source.

Particulate matter analysis

An analytical standard method for the characterization of fine particulate matter is thermal optical carbon analysis. With this method, carbonaceous samples are devided into four fractions and classified according to their organic and elemental content.

What does crude oil actually mean?

Here you can find a short introduction.

thermal analysis hyphenated to mass spectrometry

Thermal analysis enables in combination with mass spectrometry the acquisition of important information on the desorption and pyrolysis behaviour of (solid) samples. Also complex samples such as crude oil and asphaltenes can be analysed with this technique and unique information can be gained.
