The problems in analytical chemistry are becoming increasingly complex. More and more substances are to be identified and quantified faster and faster, with time and spatial resolution. Special issues would be, for example, the investigation of catalysis reactions, ligand binding to proteins, and interaction of cells with drugs.

In order to provide analytical platforms for research, we try, for example, to couple microfluidic systems with ion sources constructed by us to state-of-the-art mass spectrometers. One focus is a most efficient ion generation, including the subsequent ion transport into the vacuum area of the mass spectrometer.
