Professor D.F. Hunt Relationship with Finnigan Corporation and His Impact on Mass Spectrometer Development

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Don Hunt's 50-year collaboration with Finnigan Instruments Corporation has resulted in many innovations in mass spectrometry that range from new instrumentation to new analytical methodologies which in turn enabled new applications. The fruits of this collaboration, directly and indirectly, have had a broad and enduring impact on the instrumentation and practice of modern mass spectrometry. The authors of this monograph were members of the research and development team at Finnigan over time frames that collectively encompass the entirety of the collaboration. This article provides a narrative history and chronology of the Hunt-Finnigan relationship based on their personal recollections as well as the recollections of other participants.
