Title: R Paul Atherton: Innovator in Ionization Systems

Introduction

R Paul Atherton is a prominent inventor based in San Jose, CA, known for his significant contributions to the field of ionization systems. With a total of 10 patents to his name, Atherton has made remarkable advancements in the analysis of samples through innovative technologies.

Latest Patents

One of Atherton's latest patents involves systems and methods for ionization. This system is designed to analyze a sample using a chromatographic device, an electrospray source, and a mass resolving device. The chromatographic device separates components of the sample based on retention time within a chromatographic column. The electrospray source directs a portion of the flow from the chromatographic device to a waste outlet and another portion to an electrospray ionization outlet, forming a spray. This spray is then charged and desolvated to create ions of the sample components. The flow rate of the second portion is primarily determined by the pressure of a pressurized waste reservoir. The mass resolving device receives the ions and characterizes their mass-to-charge ratio.
