The Large Area Mass Analyser (LAMA) discussed in this paper was developed by the Max Planck Institute Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. This spectrometer is designed to perform elemental analysis of interplanetary dust, interstellar dust or space debris particles in the Earth environment. The instrument consists of a target with a sensitive area of 0.1 m^2 and performs time-of-flight measurements of the impact plasma ions from hypervelocity dust impacts. The device employs a reflectron for the improvement of the mass resolution which has values between 150 and 300. The mass resolution of this spectrometer is better than of any other known instrument with a comparatively large sensitive area. Here we report about the first laboratory tests at the Heidelberg dust accelerator facility using iron particles with speeds up to 35 kms^{-1}
