Ionicon Analytik launches the new high-resolution, high-sensitivity PTR-TOF-MS
Using a specially designed W-TOF combined with our unique proton transfer reaction-ion source, drift tube and inlet system, we developed a first PTR-TOFMS prototype together with the University of Innsbruck. Coinciding with our 10th anniversary we launched a commercial version of this new high-end research instrument.
Advantages of a time of flight detector - experience the incredible performance!
The PTR-TOFMS is a combination of the very low online detection limit, our PTR products are known for, and the speed of a time of flight mass spectrometer.
The TOF component gives the ability to analyze a whole mass spectrum in a split second with a mass resolution of approx. 5000 in V-mode. Even isobaric species can therefore be distinguished with no instrumental mass range limitation and a linearity range over six orders of magnitude.
The PTR-TOF-MS considerably compliments our well-known PTR-Quadrupole-MS product line employed by scientists around the world since 1998.
