PTR-ToF-MS

The IONICON PTR-TOF 8000 instrument is an ultra-sensitive detector for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that allows for  continuous VOC quantification with a very high mass resolution.Quantitative analysis of the whole mass range within a split-second with a resolution that even allows separation of isobaric compounds are remarkable features of the IONICON PTR-TOFMS technology.
Direct injection of sample gases without preparation contributes to the speed and simplicity that is common to all our instruments.

Chemical Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

• Selective detection based on the employed reagent ion chemistry. Adaptable for a multitude of reagent ions, including: NO+, O2+ or Kr+
• Custom post-processing software with functionality for high-resolution peak fitting, identification of unknowns, and quantitative analysis of specific ions or classes of ions across long timescales.
• Applicable for laboratory or field measurements. Compact shipping container for easy transport.
