Topics of Research:

The research is aimed towards the development of novel analytical instrumentation to aid the detection and analysis of environmentally and ecologically important pollutants, as well as pharmaceuticals and drugs in bio-fluids. Special emphasis is given to collaborations with the international analytical instrument industry.
Current topics of research include:

• Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector (PFPD) for gas chromatography.
• Electrolyzer powered Flame Ionization Detector (EFID) - The gas cylinder free FID.
• Mass Spectrometry with Supersonic Molecular Beams - The quest for ultimate performance GC-MS and fast GC-MS.
• ChromatoProbe and SnifProbe sample introduction devices and methods for MS probe sampling, extract-free GC and GC-MS analysis and airborne vapor sampling.
• Laser Desorption Fast GC-MS in supersonic molecular beams. (Biopsy Analysis)
• LC-MS with Supersonic Molecular Beams.
• Fast GC-PFPD system for Field Analysis of Chemical Warfare Agents.
• Hand Held GC-FID System for Environmental and Human Breath Analysis.
