Reaction Cell and
Analyzer Patents
Problems Solved by AP Analyzers, Filters, and Reaction Cells- These patent address
novel methods for isolating, filtering, and analyzing complex mixtures of
ions at atmospheric pressure. As sources become more efficient and
higher in current, the need to remove excess charge and isolate species
within the ion population becomes important.
Novelty of APQ, DC Cells, and AC Filters- We have
developed atmospheric pressure quadrupolar and plate filters to create
high-pass filters to remove excess reagent ion current from sample ion
streams, low-pass filters to remove excess particles and unwanted high
molecular weight material, and band-pass filters to isolate fractions of
material for a breadth of applications requiring enhanced selectivity.
What market needs do these
technologies address? All instrument markets that generate ions
at AP will benefit from higher efficiencies and sensitivities from these
devices. In addition, lower deposition will result in a more rugged
and maintenance-free system.
