Verbundprojekt: Neue Ionisationsquellen und schnelle Gaschromatographie zur Integration in ein mobiles Massenspektrometer zur Gefahrstoffdetektion - Teilvorhaben: Grundlegende wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zur Plasmaionisation auf Basis einer dielektrisch behinderten Entladung

The aim of this research project is a mobile system for fast detection of hazardous substances for first responder applications. For this purpose, a mobile mass spectrometer will be coupled to a fast gas chromatograph for fast analysis of complex samples. Furthermore, four different ionization methods will be employed to improve both substance identification and limits of detection. Our focus is the development of a new plasma source.
