Introduction
Ionicon Proton Transfer Reaction Quadrupole ion Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometric (PTR-ToF-MS) is a fast and ultra-sensitive instrument for trace analysis of volatile organic compounds at a very high time-resolution and mass resolving power. It is the most powerful PTR-ToFMS instrument available on the market.
Major functions:
The high-end orthogonal acceleration reflectron time of flight mass spectrometer, the Quadrupole ion guide, the IONICON PTR technology and the ULTRA-PURE ion source enable the PTR-QiToFMS achieves a mass resolution of more than 5,500 and reaches a detection limit of below 1 pptv in 60 sec and an unmatched sensitivity of more than 1,500 (up to 4,500) cps/ppbv. In addition, No sample preparation and the direct injection of analytes achieves no waiting time and no loss in capturing of relevant process parameters.
