ChemZo -Mass Spectrometry Ion Source-
An innovative ion source based on ambient corona discharge technology.
It enables direct measurement of liquids and solids, as well as real-time measurement of gases, which were previously challenging.
Feel free to contact us with any inquiries or questions.
ChemZo, Your Solution to These Challenges:
- Time-consuming sample preparation, such as dilution or solvent extraction.
- Discrepancies between sensory evaluation and instrument measurements.
- Visualizing the duration of aromatic compounds.
- Measuring flavor release during sample heating.
- Rapid analysis of additives in raw materials or resins.
- Quickly identifying foreign material contamination.
Mode 1. Solid Measurement Mode Using a Temperature Gradient Device
By using a temperature gradient device that can heat samples from room temperature up to 600°C, ChemZo enables component detection across different temperature ranges. This allows for obtaining spectral information from thermal desorption to thermal decomposition in a single measurement. This mode is particularly effective for material analysis, such as plastic containers.
【Key Features】
◆ Components vaporize sequentially by boiling point, making data processing easier.
◆ High boiling point compounds can be reliably vaporized.

Mode 2. Gas Measurement Mode with Flexible Sampling
ChemZo provides real-time measurement of flavor release from samples. This includes visualizing the diffusion of aroma components in limited spaces, such as beverages poured into containers. It also supports retronasal aroma measurement, which tracks exhaled aroma during and after food swallowing in sync with breathing rhythms.
【Key Features】
◆ Real-time measurement of volatile compound release behavior.
◆ Adaptable setup based on the size and shape of the sample.
◆ Supports measurement under a variety of conditions.
