β¦ Synopsis
Static time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) has been used to characterize surface contaminants on a Pt-10% Ir alloy sample prescribed for fabrication of a prototype kilogram mass standard. The identification of various oxygenated and non-oxygenated hydrocarbon adsorbates on the Pt-Ir surface provides a scenario for the increase in mass observed after standard cleaning procedures, and as a function of time. Static TOF-SIMS analysis suggests the catalytic activity of Pt plays a key role in the adsorption of organic solvents used in standard cleaning procedures as well as adsorption of hydrocarbon species present in ambient laboratory air.

The use of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Tof-SIMS) for the step-by-step control of a peptide synthesis on a solid support is illustrated. The positive secondary ions, issuing from energetic fragmentation, are characteristic of the terminal groups of the step under investigation. Th
