Dynamic Gas Chromatography Meets Dynamic Mass Spectrometry
January 1st 2013When we think about the mass spectrum of a compound, we assume that various ideal conditions are met, but often, many of them are not fully met. Here, we explain many considerations one should take into account, particularly when using GC to introduce samples into a mass spectrometer.
Femtosecond vs. Nanosecond Laser Pulse Duration for Laser Ablation Chemical Analysis
January 1st 2013Although the choice of laser is still highly dependent on the application requirements, there are distinct fundamental effects attributed to the laser pulse duration that drive the ablation sampling process. Here, we explain the differences between nanosecond and femtosecond laser ablation.
