Postdoctoral researcher Zoltan Takats works with the special "wand" he and a team of chemists developed to improve mass spectrometers, which are powerful — but unwieldy and labor-intensive – tools for chemical analysis. The wand, developed in the laboratory of Graham Cooks at Purdue University, dramatically simplifies and shortens the analysis process, meaning mass spectrometers using the wands could be carried into the field to investigate suspicious residues on packages in post offices and airport baggage rooms.
