IonSense 3+D Scanner Verifies Distribution of Elements on Objects for Checking Impurities and Pollutants

IonSense, Inc. today announced the availability of the 3+D Scanner for rapid chemical analysis of surfaces. The 3+D Scanner is interfaced to the DART®-SVP open-air ionization source, which was introduced at Pittcon 2009. The device enables rapid mass spectrometry analysis of chemicals on surfaces such as food, packaging materials, fabrics, consumer products, electrical components, and wafers. Automated surface analysis can be accomplished without placing the sample under high vacuum as in traditional surface analysis. The Apple® iPod-based controller directs the analysis of the entire surface for uniformity or allows you to choose specific locations, thus enabling rapid characterization of contaminants with no sample preparation.
