Welcome to the 4th of an increasingly regular series of small talks in realraum.
The focus being on low-entry but hopefully high-value knowledge sharing either in form of a talk or show+tell.
Ever wondered if you could bring an old mass spectrometer back to life? Well, that’s exactly what this project was all about! With a mix of DIY repairs, scavenged parts, and a whole lot of learning, the API2000 tandem mass spectrometer got a second chance.
From fixing a corroded interface heater to tracking down the right software (hello, Windows XP nostalgia!), every step was a challenge. But in the end, the first tests were a success – including injecting coffee to confirm the presence of caffeine (because, of course, coffee had to be involved).
The journey doesn’t stop here. Next steps? Diving into deeper mathematical concepts, experimenting with blood analysis, and pushing the API2000 to its limits.
