I am also very interested in potential R&D collaborations building our millisecond nanoliter IBF technology into MALDI, LC/MALDI, tissue MALDI, DART* or ESI devices.

Please, request our partial Power Point presentation taken from our ASMS poster this year and last, where I discuss why IBF may dramatically increase ESI sensitivity as it has already done for MALDI for proteins, peptides and synthetic polymers, as shown in these three new publications. In this abstracted poster session I, in part, show why........ the last thing you want to do to introduce a liquid into a mass spectrometer, is spray it.

If you are interested in potential collaborations of IBF technology and shooting, nL and pLs, into MS's or onto targets, please contact me. Also if you like, I could forward short video clips on induction based fluidics that I gave at this and last year's ASMS meeting entitled: "Millisecond Nanoliters" and the "Nanoliter Syringe."

Finally, for the record, we have a business interest in these pursuits, but we are genuinely excited by the science of IBF applied to MALDI, DART and ESI and other liquids handling applications (like ICP/MS), and would greatly appreciate the ability to team with you in endeavors that forward the technology be it for proteomics, defense, forensic, environmental or other sample introduction or treatment applications.

Is IBF the Holy Grail for mass spectrometry (LC/MALDI, tissue MALDI, ESI/LC/MS, ICP/MS, IC/MS,etc.)....introduction... perhaps!

* At Pitttcon, we flew 100% (!!!!!) of 10, 25, 50 and 100 nLs of a solution containing a drug at 1 ppm into a DART from our nanoLiter Cool Wave dispenser, getting spectra the first time. Ask for the PP presentation for more details.
