Livermore - Model SPAMS 3.0 - Single Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometry
Using our unique aerosol interface, the SPAMS 3.0 instrument has been field demonstrated to analyze particles over a very wide range of sizes. In addition, our patented tracking system renders the SPAMS 3.0, to all practical purposes, immune from saturation with only the duty cycle of the laser governing the number of particles that can be analyzed per second. Read more about our technology in general in our technology section or about its particular application to tuberculosis in our literature section. Livermore Instruments Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area startup company dedicated to bringing aerosol analysis to nontraditional fields. We were spun off of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in mid-2008 to bring our technologies, developed for over twenty million dollars and the course of fifteen years, to the world. Our flagship product is the SPAMS 3.0 Single Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer.
Aerodynamic Focusing Lens Technology
The Livermore Instruments Aerodynamic Focusing Lens Interface draws particle laden air from the environment and delivers the particles into vacuum as a tight particle beam. A result of years of research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the subject of two patents*, the interface focuses far larger particles than any previous design and focuses a broad range of particle sizes. The interface draws air in at 1.06 liters/minute and focuses the particles into a beam of 8.0 um has been demonstrated with the highest transportation efficiency at ~6 um.
