Recent Advances in Ambient Mass Spectrometry of Trace Explosives

May 6, 2018
Author(s)
Thomas Forbes, Edward Sisco
Ambient mass spectrometry has evolved rapidly over the past decade, yielding a plethora of platforms and demonstrating scientific advancements across a range of fields from biological imaging to rapid quality control. These techniques have enabled real

DART-MS analysis of inorganic explosives using high temperature thermal desorption

May 4, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas P. Forbes, Edward R. Sisco, Matthew E. Staymates, John G. Gillen
An ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) platform coupling Joule heating thermal desorption (JHTD) and direct analysis in real time (DART) was developed, generating discretely pulsed rapid heating ramps and elevated temperatures for the detection of inorganic

Theoretical Analysis of a Magnetophoresis-Diffusion T-Sensor Immunoassay

August 6, 2013
Author(s)
Thomas P. Forbes, Matt S. Munson, Samuel P. Forry
Microfluidic immunoassays have demonstrated broad application to the detection and quantification of analytes ranging from small drug molecules to large proteins and biomolecules. These systems exhibit short length scales, reduced sample volumes, and

Capturing Rare Cells From Blood Using a Packed Bed of Custom-Synthesized Chitosan Microparticles

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Chandamany Arya, Jason Kralj, Kunqiang Jiang, Matt S. Munson, Thomas Forbes, Don L. DeVoe, Srinivasa R. Raghavan, Samuel Forry
Uniform multifunctional chitosan microparticles were produced in large numbers using a simple and inexpensive microtubing arrangement. The particles were functionalized through both physical encapsulation of carbon black, to attenuate autofluorescence, and

Simple device for rare cell capture from whole blood

September 26, 2012
Author(s)
Jason G. Kralj, Samuel P. Forry, Matt S. Munson, Thomas P. Forbes, Chandamany Arya, Lynn Sorbara, Alessandro Tona, Sudhir Srivastava
We have developed a system to isolate rare cells from whole blood using commercially available components and simple microfluidics that can provide biologists with the capabilities of the monolithic devices. We characterized the capture of MCF-7 cells
