Spectro Inlets Delivers EC-MS Premium to MIT’s Team Led by Professor Yang Shao-Horn!

Spectro Inlets delivered and installed an EC-MS Premium system at MIT for the research team led by Professor Yang Shao-Horn. R&D Engineer Spiros Divanis and Production Engineer Gabriel Kroch led an on-site training session for the MIT team, including postdoc Davide Menga, to get the group up and running with real-time gas analysis for their electrochemistry research.

Faraday case study: Researchers collaborate with Spectro Inlets

A case study from the Faraday Institution profiles the collaboration between Spectro Inlets and Imperial College London (Dr. Daisy Thornton, Prof. Ifan Stephens, Prof. Mary Ryan, Dr. Ainara Aguadero) that produced a new EC-MS cell for non-aqueous lithium-ion battery electrolytes. The cell captures 100% of analyte species and offers roughly two orders of magnitude higher sensitivity to gases like oxygen and hydrogen than existing options, helping researchers pin down battery degradation mechanisms. It’s now sold commercially in Europe and the US, including to Johnson Matthey, with pouch-cell and solid-state battery holders in development.

Monolithic Silicon Nanopore Membrane Technology

Spectro Inlets’ monolithic silicon nanopore membrane technology forms a microcapillary inlet directly in silicon, enabling real-time, quantitative gas analysis during experiments in harsh liquid environments, including electrochemistry and battery research.
