The lab studies toxic substances in environmental chemistry using theoretical calculations and mass spectrometry.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring toxic substances through both theory and analysis
The lab of Lecturer Tomoko Imasaka specializes in theoretical chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry, and conducts research on toxic substances.
Using quantum chemistry calculation software, the lab predicts from theory the transition energies and ionization potentials of substances such as dioxins and sarin.
The lab analyzes data from gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and has also created a program that calculates an original reliability factor to improve detection limits.
Listed research themes include laser ionization mass spectrometry, development of mass spectrometers, and generation of ultrashort light pulses.
Key terms
- Mass spectrometry
- An analytical method that ionizes a substance and identifies its components from differences in mass
- Ionization potential
- The energy required to remove an electron from a molecule and turn it into an ion
- Ultrashort light pulses
- Pulsed light that stays on for an extremely short time
ResearchResearch themes
The lab targets toxic substances, working on theoretical prediction through quantum chemistry calculations and on the analysis of mass spectrometry data. Its research themes include generation of ultrashort light pulses, development of mass spectrometers, and laser ionization mass spectrometry.
