New Techniques and Potential Applications in Ultrasensitive Mass Spectrometry: Symposium Summary

摘要

This informal report is a summary of a symposium entitled: new techniques and potential applications in ultrasensitive mass spectrometry held at NBS on May 31, 1983. The agenda is attached, as are the names of most of the 60 people who attended. The objectives of the meeting were to: examine and compare the present and potential capabilities of ultrasensitive atom counting techniques: tandem accelerator mass spectrometry (TAMS), resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS), sputter initiated resonance ionization spectrometry (SIRIS), conventional mass spectrometry (MS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS); and examine the range of measurements presently being performed by these instruments and consider the potential for future measurements.
