Miniaturizing spectrometer
That’s where mass spectrometers are, I would argue, one of the single most advantageous tools, because with a single analyzer you can detect a wide array of compounds,” says Girguis.There’s no denying the incredible power of mass spectrometry. … The shrinking of mass spectrometers is really about doing in situ, on-site measurements,” Cooks says. … As a result, most mini-mass specs are built from more forgiving mass analyzers, namely ion traps and quadrupoles—though at least two researchers have succeeded in miniaturizing a TOF, including Verbeck.

Single-nanowire spectrometers
Miniaturizing spectrometers Spectroscopy is a ubiquitous characterization tool spanning most scientific and many industrial disciplines. Most handheld spectrometers are based on tabletop optical components, which limits the scale to which these spectrometers can be shrunk. … A variety of miniaturized, portable spectrometers have been developed for applications in which reduced footprint and weight take precedence over high resolution.
