The potential range of applications for such devices is enormous and represents a growing market worldwide. In collaboration with other university departments, and with industry we are currently developing a micro engineered quadropole mass spectrometer for use in a range of both low and ultra high vacuum applications. This is the smallest of its type in the world.
