We are glad to say that we have obtained the first promising results with the development of the laser-MS system!

We have done various testing with an existing laser to select suitable laser wavelengths and parameters as well as tested different configurations with mass spectrometers. The latest progress shows that the research project is on the right track.

A big help to these experiments has been Victor Augusto Xavier Da Silveira who joined our project this year. He is a Master’s student of the Excellence in Analytical Chemistry (EACH) programme with a background in chemical engineering and has been a technician of mass spectrometric devices.

Victor, you have done excellent work, thank you for that!

Good job, team! Keep up the good work!
