Zeteo Tech, Inc. nbsp;proposes to design, develop and prototype a robust, small size, weight, and power (SWaP) TOF mass spectrometer with enhanced mass resolving power (m/Delta;m ge; 25,000, FWHM) and practically unlimited mass range, which will allow in situ detection of organic and biomolecules in complex mixtures. It is based on a novel design of a multi-reflection TOF using microfabrication techology. The mass analyzer operates at low static voltages (a few hundred volts). Using static voltages (without pulsing) simplifies the electronics and minimizes power consumption for the proposed miniature mass spectrometer.In phase I we will complete a preliminary design of the miniature TOF mass analyzer with enhanced mass resolving power and prototype key elements of the design.
