Description of Manipulation and Characterization of Electrosprayed Ions Under Ambient Conditions (PDF)

Manipulation and Characterization of Electrosprayed Ions Under Ambient Conditions by Zane Baird is a great chemistry book available for (PDF) download. Zane Baird’s thesis is a model of innovation combined with high technical achievement. These are characteristics one could wish to find in any STEM Ph.D. thesis but often does not. The subject Baird treats is mass spectrometry, but more roadly it is measurement science. This term implies the existence of measurement tools and methods for testing and validating and interpreting the data from measurements. The subject of analytical chemistry has evolved to become that part of chemistry that is most concerned with the invention of new measurement tools, and the methodology of testing, validating and interpreting data. Baird’s work covers a novel evolving area of mass spectrometry, in which ions are treated in the ambient environment. His experiments involve the generation of ions in the air, and more unusually, the focusing, separation, and detection of ions in the air.

To accomplish this, he ses new rapid prototyping methods of 3D printing to fabricate lens systems that focus ions and create beams that can be reacted, separated and detected. These asks are facilitated by simulations of ion motion. One novel result is the construction from plastic at low cost using a home hobby 3D printer, of an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) with relatively high efficiency, and resolution comparable to that of commercial IMS instruments. This system uniquely operates without neumatic forces at atmospheric pressure. The methods that Baird uses could easily become standard for applications of IMS, the most common of which is airport security screening. This example serves as a reminder that the conception and design of novel instrumentation represent science at its best intellectually as wells having a great practical value.
