- Title
Real-Life "Tricorder" for Chemical Analysis.
- Abstract
The article reports on the development of a sensing system which can evaluate and measure the chemical composition of various products. Developed by researchers at Purdue University, the system utilizes desorption electrospray ionization and a mass spectrometer. The product developers compare the product to the Star Trek "tricorder" and recognize its capabilities as a chemical analysis tool. R. Graham Cooks of Purdue's College of Science leads the research group. The article reports on commercial ventures underway by Prosolia Inc. and Griffin Analytical Technologies to produce the "tricorder."
