- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. This technology is a multi-source ion funnel for mass spectrometer instruments. It is designed to introduce ions generated in a region of high pressure into a region of low pressure using at least two electrospray ion sources, at least two capillary inlets, and at least two ?ion funnels?. The technology may also include a jet disturber positioned within one or more of the ion funnels that utilizes voltage to control the transmission of ions. The technology enables both static and dynamic control of ion transmission and modulation of calibrant ion peak intensities, while maintaining high transmission of analyte ions. Thus, it provides a basis for simultaneously improving sensitivity, dynamic range, and mass measurement accuracy. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice.
