Time of flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS)
Almsco International

BenchTOF-dx is a fast, high performance reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer (MS) for analysing ultra-trace level volatile and semi-volatile organic chemicals in complex real-world samples. Novel architecture and proprietary noise reduction algorithms offer and unrivalled combination of:

* Sensitivity

* Compound resolution

* Spectral quality, and

* Robust operation

BenchTOF-dx Features

* State-of-the-art ion optics & direct ion extraction technology maximise sensitivity. Full range spectral data at quadrupole SIM sensitivity levels (>800:1 s/n for 1 pg OFN while acquiring over full mass range)

* Enhanced detection of trace target analytes

* High speed spectral acquisition (10,000 Hz) for compatibility with fast GC, GCxGC (Comprehensive 2D GC) and complex conventional GC profiles. Up to 560 spectra written to disk every second.

* Mass range of 1 to 1000 amu, with mass resolution of 1000, ensures compatibility with every GC application

* Mass spectra simultaneously stored in both true centroid & continuum/profile data formats for accurate ion ration determination

* Extreme stability of both mass axis & detector response reduces calibration frequency, optimising system productivity

* Uniquely powerful noise reduction software minimises requirement for manual data manipulation

* Integrates with popular GC/MS data analysis software to eliminate operator learning curve

* Optimum versatility: Compatible with all makes of GC and a range of hyphenated techniques

* Low cost for performance in a compact technology that operates in standard laboratory environments ensuing fast return on investment
