Pulsed oscillating mass analyser

质谱仪是化学分析中普遍存在的组件，但通常体积较大且价格昂贵。 我们开发了一种新的质量分析方法，比现有技术更小，更便宜。 然而，分析仪需要进一步的研究，以确定它是否具有与其他技术相匹配的性能规格。 本研究的目的是验证、探索和扩展原型，并开发适用于质量分析的数学算法。 这一项目的成功可能会导致一种新的质量分析仪，可纳入分析仪器，其中许多是在澳大利亚制造的。

Mass spectrometers are ubiquitous components in chemical analysis, but are often large and expensive. We have developed a new method for mass analysis, which is smaller and cheaper than existing technology. However, the analyser needs further research to determine whether it has the performance specifications to match the other technologies. The objective of this research is to characterise, explore and extend the prototype and to develop the appropriate mathematical algorithm for mass analysis. Success in this project may lead to a new mass analyser that can be incorporated into analytical instruments, many of which are manufactured in Australia.
