20110024614 | SIFT-MS INSTRUMENT - A method of improving signal intensity of precursor ions constrained in a carrier gas in the flow tube of a SIFT-MS instrument, and an apparatus to carry out the method. The method applies an electrical potential to the flow tube to lower the diffusive loss of ions within the flow tube. The lowered diffusive loss of ions increases the sensitivity of the technique. | 02-03-2011 |
20080261263 | In Vitro Evaluation of Micro-Organisms and Their Antimicrobial Agent Susceptibilities - A method of identifying a micro-organism and determining the susceptibility of the micro-organism to an antimicrobial agent by inserting a sample of the micro-organism in a primary culture container and allowing the micro-organism to multiply. The primary culture is then divided into a plurality of secondary cultures and the metabolic volatile or semi-volatile compounds (VCs) in the headspace above the cultures are analysed by SIFT-MS to ascertain whether micro-organisms exist in the culture and determine the type of micro-organism. The secondary cultures are then divided into a number of tertiary cultures and an antimicrobial agent is introduced whereupon the VCs in the headspace above the tertiary cultures are analysed by SIFT-MS to determine the susceptibility of the micro-organism to the antimicrobial agent at various concentrations of the antimicrobial agent. | 10-23-2008 |
