Research highlights

Read more about some of our research projects including an ion trap mass spectrometer, low-cost ion trap mass analysers and simulation software.

Artificial Sniffer

Artificial sniffer

We were the leading partner in the SNIFFLES project, a collaborative project with nine European academic and industrial partners.

Polymer-based mass analysers

Polymer-based mass analysers

We have designed, simulated fabricated and tested a miniature quadrupole mass filter (QMF) with hyperbolic electrodes for high resolution mass scanning.

Simulations software for QMFs and LITs

Simulation software

We have implemented two in-house software packages: QMS2 for 3D modelling of quadrupole mass filters and linear ion traps and LIT2 for 3D modelling of linear ion traps
