Chitosan is used in a wide range of fields such as medicine, food, cosmetics, and clothing due to its antibacterial and moisturizing properties. Some cotton swabs, which are everyday items, are formulated with chitosan to provide antibacterial effects. Therefore, we evaluated the chitosan contained in cotton swabs using TOF-SIMS, which allows for visualization through mapping and component assessment through spectral measurement. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Please see the linked page for analysis data. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

    [TOF-SIMS] Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

    This is a method for structural analysis of the sample surface. Due to its sensitivity to the surface compared to other analytical devices, it is suitable for identifying organic contaminants on the very surface.

    By reducing the amount of ion irradiation at one time, it becomes possible to maintain the molecular state of the surface and generate secondary ions. The obtained secondary ions are analyzed using a Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer.
