Since its launch earlier this year, next-gen Massbox has taken the stage at TMS, DMC, Goldschmidt, and M&M 2026, drawing crowds eager to see LALI-TOF-MS in person. Now, we're bringing that experience to you.
Our new explainer video shows exactly how next generation Massbox delivers full periodic table elemental characterization of solid samples, from lithium to uranium, without a lab environment.
At the core of the platform is LALI-TOF-MS: laser ablation, laser ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
A first laser ablates material straight from the sample surface, a second targets the neutral particles to create ions without argon gas or plasma, and a time-of-flight mass analyzer captures a full mass spectrum at every laser spot.
It's this dual-laser process, unique to Massbox, that makes simultaneous quantification and spatial mapping of every element possible in a single measurement.
You'll see how the platform's core advancements—the airlock system that cuts vacuum pump-down to under a minute, the bottom-loading sample holder, and the direct-injection TOF—come together in a single, fast measurement.
Plus, why mining and geochemistry teams, advanced manufacturing facilities, and battery developers are turning to Massbox to get answers without waiting on a lab.
Whether you met us at a recent conference or are discovering Massbox for the first time, this is the fastest way to understand what Massbox can do for your samples.
