Differences between LDI-MS and MALDI-MS
LDI (Laser Desorption Ionization) is a method that uses only the energy of ultraviolet lasers to sublime and ionize molecules. On the other hand, MALDI (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization) is a method that sublimates and ionizes molecules by exposing a sample mixed with a matrix to ultraviolet lasers.

![[O-PTIR] PTIR detection method submicron infrared spectroscopy](https://image.mono.ipros.com/public/product/image/899/2001512496/IPROS16568394973420817436.jpg?w=280&h=280)
Infrared spectroscopy is a method for obtaining information about molecular structure by measuring the infrared absorption due to molecular vibrations.
O-PTIR has the following features: - It allows for spectral and image measurements in small areas due to its spatial resolution (maximum spatial resolution: less than 1μm). - No need for thin sectioning (effective for samples that are difficult to thin section, such as foreign materials). - Measurements can generally be performed non-destructively. - Similar analyses can be performed using the FT-IR library.
It is effective to differentiate between the two methods according to the purpose components and the size of the imaging field.
TOF-SIMS and MALDI-MS, which are representative mass spectrometry methods for solid sample surfaces, both enable qualitative analysis and imaging analysis. TOF-SIMS, which utilizes hard ionization methods, can detect inorganic and organic components with masses up to several hundred with high sensitivity. On the other hand, MALDI-MS, which employs soft ionization methods, can detect polymers in the range of thousands to tens of thousands. Additionally, the spatial resolution of the images also varies depending on the diameter of the irradiation beam.

By capturing changes in functional groups, it is possible to evaluate the curing degree of UV-curable resins.
Resins that excel in chemical resistance and electrical insulation are used as insulators, coatings, and adhesives for various electronic components. FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) can investigate the causes of defects such as the degree of curing of resins, making it effective for product development. As an example, we will introduce a case where the degree of curing of UV-curable resins was evaluated. It is effective for examining the UV exposure time in adhesives and assessing the curing state when delamination occurs in products.

It is possible to evaluate the composition distribution in an area of up to 70×70mm.
This is an example of wide-area quantitative mapping using XPS. We evaluated organic residue on silicon wafers using the following procedure. To graph the amount (atomic concentration) rather than peak intensity, it is less affected by sample roughness and allows for data acquisition over a wide area. It is suitable for investigating organic and inorganic contamination, discoloration, surface treatments, etc., as it enables an overview assessment of the compositional distribution on the sample surface.
Weight analysis
The main components of wood biomass consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, and their composition ratios vary depending on the plant species from which they originate. The composition ratios of these three components can be evaluated by applying specific chemical treatments such as the Klason method or the Wise method to the samples and measuring their weights. At MST, the proportion of the main components in wood biomass is calculated according to the following analysis flow.

Simultaneous measurement of inorganic and organic components in minute specific areas.
TOF-SIMS has features such as simultaneous evaluation of organic and inorganic materials, capability for micro-area analysis, and high sensitivity for analyzing the very surface, making it effective for residue investigation in cleaning processes. An example is presented where pure water was dried on a silicon wafer. Optical microscopy only reveals slight point-like foreign substances and cloudiness. However, the results measured by TOF-SIMS showed that in the contaminated areas, organic components such as hydrocarbons, PDMS, and amides, which tend to adsorb naturally, were aggregated.
Capable of evaluating three-dimensional structural changes according to tensile stress.
In situ X-ray CT measurements allow for internal structure analysis under conditions where a load (tension or compression) is applied to the sample. In this document, in situ X-ray CT measurements were conducted using an aluminum plate as the sample, both in its normal state and in an extended state. We calculated the tensile stress applied to the sample and monitored the internal structural changes under each stress condition. By combining in situ X-ray CT measurements with image analysis technology, it is possible to evaluate under actual usage conditions, which was previously difficult, and assess the impact of stress on the product.
![[Analysis Case] Quantitative Analysis Using NMR 31P Nucleus (B0278)](https://image.mono.ipros.com/public/product/image/387108/IPROS4937671356700403746.png?w=280&h=280)
It is possible to calculate the concentration of phosphorus-containing organic compounds using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance!
We offer NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis) services. Since NMR directly observes nuclear spins, the area of the peaks of the measured nuclides obtained from the measurement is proportional to the number and concentration of the nuclides contained in the solution or solid being measured. Based on this principle, NMR allows for quantitative analysis without the need for a calibration curve. For example, using the integral value of the peak of the 31P nucleus, it is possible to determine the concentration of one component of a two-component mixture from the known concentration of the other component according to a relationship.
