| Mobile Mass Spectrometry Facility | December 15, 2016 - 11:57am |
Our brand new, state-of-the-art, mobile mass spectrometry facility, one of only a few in Canada, made its inaugural road trip this fall. The mobile lab has been custom fitted with specialized, ruggedized mass spectrometry instrumentation that will provide high precision measurements of chemicals that are important indicators of environmental and human health. On-board global positioning information is interlaced with instrument data to yield real-time contaminant concentrations which can be visualized on geo-spatial scales. |

| VIU Innovation will become Weapon in Fight on Fentanyl | June 22, 2021 - 10:23am |
From CHEK News September 26, 2018. A major innovation coming out of Vancouver Island University (VIU) in Nanaimo could soon become a weapon in the war on fentanyl. The deadly drug is responsible for an epidemic in fatal overdoses and VIU scientists have come up with a way to tell within seconds whether the drug a user is about to take will kill them. A team of Nanaimo-based scientists has made a discovery that has them very excited. “This technique could save a lot of lives,” said VIU Chemistry Student Armin Saatchi. |
