Abstract: 
A new method is presented using an optical particle counter and the compact mobile laser mass spectrometer LAMPAS 3 for in situ analysis of single particles generated by electrosurgical dissection of biological tissues. The instrumental performance is demonstrated for analysing aerosol particles formed during rapid thermal evaporation of porcine liver and porcine kidney tissues. Particle number concentrations of up to 5,000 particles per cubic centimetre were detected during surgical dissection. Chemical analysis of tissue particles was performed by bipolar time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The application of an online mass spectrometric particle analysis for surgical aerosols is reported here for the first time.
