Welcome to Steam Instruments, a pioneering startup at the forefront of high-spatial resolution mass spectrometry technology. We are a proud SBIR recipient of DOE, NSF and CHIPS Act innovation funding, and are dedicated to revolutionizing mass spectrometry imaging with our innovative solutions designed to enhance mass range, quantum efficiency, and spatial resolution.

By integrating our state-of-the-art ion detector and ion imaging detectors with our unique ion imaging optics and high-mass spectrometer designs, we aim to significantly push boundaries in several key areas. These include direct-from-tissue biomolecule mapping and quantification, ultra-high-mass biomolecule analysis, sub-micron mapping of hydrogen and lithium, semiconductor device dopant analysis, and high-spatial resolution nuclear forensics mapping. All of these advancements are designed to deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy. Some of these technologies have already been shipped to early customers, and our first commercial-ready products will be ready for evaluation in 2026.

If you’re interested in harnessing the power of Steam Instruments’ technologies for your products, laboratories, or financial portfolio, we invite you to get in touch with us. We look forward to exploring the possibilities together.
