Introducing “time-of-flight single particle investigator” (TOF-SPI): a tool for quantitative spICP-TOFMS data analysis
Summary
Researchers developed a new software tool called TOF-SPI for analyzing single-particle data from a mass spectrometry technique used to characterize tiny particles in environmental samples. The software provides accurate, high-throughput processing of particle composition data. The tool is designed to help scientists more efficiently identify and quantify nanoparticles and microplastics in complex samples.
TOF-SPI is software for accurate, robust, and high-throughput analysis of single-particle ICP-TOFMS data.
