Title: Biography of Patrick J Roach
Introduction
Patrick J Roach is an accomplished inventor based in Kennewick, WA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of mass spectrometry through his innovative work.
Latest Patents
Patrick holds a patent for a "Focused analyte spray emission apparatus and process for mass spectrometric analysis." This invention describes an apparatus and process that deliver an analyte deposited on a substrate to a mass spectrometer, enabling trace analysis of complex organic analytes. The method involves probing analytes using a small droplet of solvent formed at the junction between two capillaries. A supply capillary maintains the droplet on the substrate, while a collection capillary collects analyte desorbed from the surface and emits analyte ions as a focused spray to the mass spectrometer for analysis. This invention enhances the separation of desorption and ionization events, providing improved control over the transport and ionization of the analyte.
