Welcome to Ionfinity
Ionfinity, a subsidiary in which VIASPACE holds a 46.3% membership interest, is working to develop a "soft-ionization" technology in support of the next-generation mass spectrometers, differential mobility spectrometers and systems dependent on ion level sampling which could not only revolutionize the traditional applications of MS for industrial process control, biomedical, and environmental monitoring, but could also ring in a new era of detection systems for homeland security. The technology combines two inventions made at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which should totally eliminate ion fracturization thus enable the system to provide a 10x increase in sensitivity, a 10x increase in mass range and the ability to miniaturize the product to make it portable and low cost. Ionfinity's technology could not only enhance and benefit the current mass spectrometer and DMS marketplace, but could also enable the introduction of a new era in monitoring devices and detection systems for homeland security, medical, process control, agriculture, and defense applications.

Product Focus
The Ionfinity technology is designed to facilitate high sensitivity and specificity in a portable system. The latest system Ionfinity is working on, a Differential Mobility Spectrometer (DMS) system, will provide ppt to sub ppb level detection within 10 seconds with a system no larger than a shoe box. With its projected ruggedness, low power consumption and cost, the system could be deployed in many applications, where monitoring of air, water or other substances is required. Ionfinity has partnered with Imaginative Technologies, LLC, Sionex Corp., NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the California Institute of Technology, and General Dynamics to develop and field demonstrate this capability for the US Army.
