Event Overview
To reduce costs and increase energy efficiency of traditional batteries, the battery industry is constantly innovating with new materials. To assure quality, manufacturers must verify elemental composition and confirm key elements are evenly distributed in the process. A new technology for rapid chemical characterization of solid materials can accelerate new material development, quality control, and failure analysis. By combining an innovative dual-laser system with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, this new technique provides:
- High vacuum environment after the solid sample is loaded
- Trace-level detection for nearly the entire periodic table (lithium to uranium), including nonmetals
- Elemental mapping up to an 83-mm by 83-mm area with 5–200-micron resolution
- Depth profiling at approximately 0.5–1 micron per second
Key Learning Objectives:
- The importance of elemental characterization for quality control and failure analysis of battery materials
- The fundamentals of a new technology, Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LALI-TOF-MS)
- Demo of the LALI-TOF-MS instrument’s intuitive user interface and case studies relevant to battery material quality control and failure analysis
Who Should Attend:
- Materials Scientists
- Research Scientists
- Research Chemists
- Quality Engineers

Exum Instruments
Bound to the vision of Exum Instruments, Jeff Williams drives both strategy and technical development as CEO / CTO. From instrument design and software development to team building and fundraising, Jeff prides himself on being both “head cook and bottle washer.” Before Exum, Jeff completed a master’s degree in cosmochemistry from the University of New Mexico. At that time, he realized that the analytical world he loved so much was greatly lacking. Slowly at first, and then all at once, he switched hats from research scientist to entrepreneur with a mission to develop tools that would redefine analytical instruments forever.

LC–MS/MS-Based System Used to Profile Ceramide Reactions to Diseases
April 26th 2024Scientists from the University of Córdoba in Córdoba, Spain recently used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to comprehensively profile human ceramides to determine their reactions to diseases.
High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
