Advanced Technology Brings Ultra-Trace Solution
Apr 11 2016
The new Protein Transfer Reaction (PTR-TOF)1000 ultra trace gas analyser from IONICON, offers potential as a new benchmark for ultra-sensitive volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis in real-time. Integrated in an affordable, small and light instrument, the ultra model is an advanced version of the PTR-TOF 1000 launched two years ago and now incorporates
ION-BOOSTER funnel technology that provides up to 10x higher sensitivity.
An ion funnel is an array of ring electrodes with decreasing orifice sizes. A RF-voltage is applied that focuses the ions through the lenses. Compared to traditional transfer lens systems, the funnel greatly improves ion transmission leading to a much higher sensitivity, said the company.
“We make sure that new technologies become available also for our existing customer base. New products should not automatically outdate existing instruments and therefore we offer upgrades for selected IONICON instruments,” said company chief executive officer Lukas Märk. Currently upgrade packages are being conceived for the PTR-TOF 1000/2000/8000 series.
