What You'll Learn

Laser Ablation Laser Ionization (LALI) with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF-MS)

This two-part webinar offers an in-depth look at Exum's Massbox, the first instrument to deliver Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (LALI-TOF-MS).

Among the suite of instruments used for microscopy and microanalysis, there are a few common challenges, including: 1) accurately measuring low-mass elements, 2) depth profiling beyond one micron, and 3) reliably detecting elements below parts-per-million (ppm) levels. Addressing the limitations of traditional techniques, a new technology combines Laser Ablation Laser Ionization (LALI) with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF-MS). In this webinar, you will learn about LALI-TOF-MS and explore case studies demonstrating how it complements existing microscopy tools.

Part A: Technical Presentation

The first session involves a live presentation to guide you through: 

• The fundamentals of LALI-TOF-MS
• How LALI-TOF-MS fills existing gaps in materials characterization by providing trace-level

detection from lithium to uranium, quantitative elemental mapping, and depth profiling

• An understanding of the technology’s use cases
• A live Q&A session to address questions about your specific materials

Part B: Demonstration

The second session includes a demo of the Massbox, the first instrument to deliver LALI-TOF-MS. In this session, we will cover:

• A brief overview of LALI-TOF-MS
• The step-by-step process of loading solid samples, setting up analyses, and gathering impactful results
• Powerful examples of the Massbox’s ability to perform:

o   Rapid screening

o   Quantitative analysis

o   Elemental mapping

o   Depth profiling

• A live Q&A session to address questions about your specific materials
