The Geonium Chip developed and patented by Dr Jose Verdu and his team in the Centre for Quantum Studies at the University of Sussex has significant potential as a core analytical technology in accurate mass spectrometry. The Geonium co-planar Penning trap will enable development of a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) without the need for a large super-conducting magnet thus greatly reducing the cost and footprint of such an instrument. This will allow a wider range of applications to be addressed by this more deployable and accessible instrument. The feasibility of cooling the ICR cell by an integrated cryostat assembly will be investigated. Potential end users will be contacted and their requirements collected to determine the specification of the instrument. The feasibility of routes to market with industrial partners will be investigated by Polestar Engineering in partnership with the University of Sussex and ICEoxford.

Geonium芯片由苏塞克斯大学量子研究中心的Jose Verdu博士和他的团队开发并申请了专利，作为精确质谱学的核心分析技术具有巨大的潜力。Geonium共面Penning陷阱将使傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱仪(FT-ICR MS)的开发成为可能，而不需要大型超导磁体，从而极大地降低了此类仪器的成本和占地面积。这将使这一更可部署和更易于使用的工具能够处理更广泛的应用。将研究通过集成的低温恒温器组件来冷却ICR电池的可行性。将联系潜在的最终用户并收集他们的要求，以确定仪器的规格。北极星工程公司将与苏塞克斯大学和ICEoxford合作，调查与工业合作伙伴进入市场的路线的可行性。
