The JEOL AccuTOF™-DART® 4G mass spectrometer has been chosen as one of the key technologies in a new mobile laboratory developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Services. The new lab was officially christened on November 3, 2022 at the Clark R. Bavin National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Ashland Oregon1.
The new laboratory, nicknamed “The Woodshed” was constructed to carry out timber analyses at ports of entry. It will be used to identify illegally traded timber from endangered species and facilitate the legal timber trade. The laboratory, designed by the staff of the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Lab, features the AccuTOF-DART mass spectrometer, a visual comparator, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) systems for elemental analysis, and 240V generator for off-grid analysis.
