For years, cost and instrument limitations have prohibited many commercial applications of mass spectrometry. Today, Exum provides an all-in-one, easy-to-use package that fits on a desktop, the Massbox. Its Laser Ablation Laser Ionization (LALI) technique analyzes any solid sample, removes the matrix effects that plague other techniques, and provides quantitative results without matrix-matched reference standards. Because this process only takes a few minutes, scientists spend less time acquiring data and more time analyzing it.
