Customer Application

Prof. Julia Laskin's research group at Purdue University has integrated Zaber's high-resolution, motorized, XYZ-LSM multi-axis system into their nanospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (nano-DESI MSI) platform, which is used to precisely control the position of the sample throughout the imaging experiments.

About Julia Laskin Research Group at Purdue University

Our research at the interface of physical and analytical chemistry is focused on the advanced development of preparative and analytical mass spectrometry for applications in materials synthesis, imaging and chemical analysis of biological systems at a subcellular level, and environmental sciences. The main direction of our research is focused on the advanced development of nano-DESI MSI. Nano-DESI is an ambient ionization technique based on localized liquid extraction of molecules from surfaces that enables sensitive quantitative detection of molecules in complex chemical and biological samples. ‎
