Tailored, Non-linear Signal Modulation for Encoding Information in Multiple Dimensions Unmet Need: Fast, multidimensional analysis of the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of gas-phase ions, molecules, and particles When coupling two or more stages of on-line or off-line analysis, the second stage of analysis must be much faster than the first to adequately sample information transmitted between dimensions. When the second dimension of analysis is slower than the first, modulation of information in the first dimension is necessary to effectively encode the first dimensions information in the second or higher dimensions. However, this modulation of data can complicate and drastically increase experiment time. The Technology: Non-linear approach to signal and molecular modulation to minimize experiment time The inventors have developed a method to enhance the speed of data acquisition for the measurement and analysis of the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of analytes. The invention can be utilized in the analysis of gas-phase analytes and liquid separation processes. The inventors have also developed a data-derived waveform that can be tailored to specific analytes. Applications: Data acquisition Mass spectrometry Liquid separations Analytical chemistry Advantages: Faster experiment times Tailored waveforms for individual experiments Patent Information: Non-Provisional patent filed Learn More Punam Dalai Technology Licensing Associate Washington State University (509) 335-1216 punam.dalai@wsu.edu Reference No: TECH-22/3462 Bookmark this page Download as PDF Inventors Brian Clowers Elvin Cabrera David Russell Arthur Laganowsky Key Words Ion Mobility Spectrometry Mass Spectrometry Signal Processing
