Faster, enhanced performance, and ready to further streamline your solid sample chemical analyses. 

We didn't update Massbox. We reimagined it. In the next generation of Massbox, every component was tailored specifically for our LALI-TOF-MS process.

What Is Massbox?

Combining unique Laser Ablation Laser Ionization with Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LALI-TOF-MS), Massbox is an easy-to-use, desktop instrument enabling rapid quality control, failure analysis, and accelerated material development. ​

LALI-TOF-MS Technology
Massbox combines a patented dual-laser (LALI) ionization source with Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass analyzer. One laser removes material from a solid sample, a second laser ionizes neutrals; eliminating many of the interferences and matrix effects that plague other techniques. 

Complete, Quantitative Elemental Analysis
Simultaneous quantification of all elements from Li to U in a single measurement, including traditionally challenging light elements (C, N, O). Detection capability spans trace concentrations (sub-ppm) to bulk composition (weight percent).​

Broad-Scale Elemental Mapping
Pixel-by-pixel elemental distribution mapping across areas up to 90mm × 90mm with adjustable spatial resolution from 5μm to 150μm, revealing microscopic chemical heterogeneities and macroscopic compositional gradients.​ 


Three-Dimensional Elemental Composition
Layer-by-layer compositional analysis through tens of microns of material depth, providing unprecedented 3D chemical characterization without destructive sample preparation or cross-sectioning.​ 

Unmatched Versatility
Open-format sample holder with bottom-loading stage brings all samples to a uniform height, allowing components of different sizes to be analyzed in the same session. Variable sample sizes, same seamless session. 

Faster Setup, Higher Throughput
Airlock system minimizes venting during sample exchange, cutting vacuum pump-down time to less than 1 minute. You spend less time at the instrument and more time on discovery.

Enhanced Performance
Direct-injection TOF maximizes ion transport efficiency, delivering high sensitivity with minimal material removed. Detect more while destroying less. 

Geoscience, Mining, & Exploration
Trace element geochemistry requires sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability across a wide range of sample types. With ppm-level detection limits, rapid elemental mapping, and mixed-sample flexibility in a field-deployable package, next generation Massbox is ready for the full complexity of geological work — from microanalysis to provenance studies.

Metals & Advanced Manufacturing
Whether you're designing alloys or diagnosing failures, next generation Massbox brings trace-level detection and 3D elemental insight. Deploy it directly in your facility for a complete understanding of solids, powders, and the advanced manufacturing processes used to create them. 

Battery Research & Manufacturing
Lithium mapping, Solid Elecrolyte Interphase (SEI) characterization, and trace element analysis at the speed and resolution your R&D and process control workflows demand. Next generation Massbox gives battery scientists the throughput to keep pace with the most demanding development cycles.
