Applied
Microsystems has introduced a powerful, flexible
technology to detect part per billion concentrations
of chemicals in water: the underwater, in-situ
mass spectrometer.
The current version of
the underwater mass spectrometer, called
In-Spectr,
is capable of detecting volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and dissolved gases to
100m/z (mass to charge) ratio down parts
per billion thresholds (beyond current EPA
requirements). The technology has been
successfully field tested in numerous deployments
in waters throughout North America.
We also have a beta technology
to meet more extensive needs. Applied Microsystems’
200 / 200 project focuses on fine tuning
the functionality of our 200 m/z 200 meter
capable ion-trap underwater mass spectrometer.
We are currently searching for development
customers who are excited by the prospect
of leading-edge technology. Click here

We believe the in-situ
mass spectrometer has the potential to be
the most powerful, deployable sensor in
the marine environment. Due to the versatility
of mass spectroscopy for detection and quantification
of chemicals, this is suitable to a wide
variety of applications in the environmental,
chemical, biological and marine sciences.
