With faciliites in Denver CO and Albuquerque, NM, Exum builds instruments and software ecosystems to increase the speed of development and discovery, offering easy access to high-performance at a low-cost. The firm's Massbox is the first commercial Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (LALI-TOF-MS). By reducing the drawbacks of other analytical methods, this technique simplifies solid sample analysis. the first Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (LALI-TOF-MS) instrument on the market. The Massbox combines Exum's patented, dual-laser (LALI) ionization source with industry-leading Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass analyzer. LALI utilizes one laser to remove material from a solid sample and a second laser to subsequently ionize neutrals. Process removes many of the elemental fractionation, spectral interferences, and matrix effects that plague other techniques. The wavelength and power of the first laser can be selected to accommodate both ablations for inorganic elemental analysis or desorption, for organic analysis.
