  • Gas Production
  • 燃料电池开发

尽管等含量化合物具有不同的结构和化妆,但它们具有相同的名义质量。微小的毫达,在离子的精确质量上的差异可以揭示其真实成分。在核研究,气体纯度和燃料电池开发中,需要这种水平的分数质量细节,以检测和测量低分子量物种。但是,在低质量范围内实现这一分辨率非常困难。

一种dvanced Core MS components are used by the VeraSpec HRQ to obtain the highest resolution to date in Extrel’s VeraSpec series of high-performance mass spectrometers. Using the Extrel high precision 2.9 MHz control electronics and 19 mm tri-filter quadrupole, the VeraSpec HRQ has a resolution >3000 (M/ΔM) across a 1-50 Da mass range.

除了分数质量分析外,Merlin Automation™控制软件还增加了出色的,有力的功能,可完全表征样品。Merlin软件可以扫描为负离子和阳性离子,并包括对质量特异性分辨率调整的完全控制。这使用户能够在需要的情况下定义并执行单个50个DA扫描,并具有超高分辨率和准确的质量,并在其他群众处进行标称的质量分辨率。这导致了一个分析仪,该分析仪不仅具有显着的灵活性,而且还具有量化每次扫描中样品整体组成的能力。

氢和氦/氘分析

Some of the most difficult low-mass applications include detecting helium leaks in a heavy hydrogen sample, or measuring hydrogen isotopes in the presence of helium. The VeraSpec’s ultra-high resolution can isolate the accurate mass peaks of deuterium and helium to baseline. In addition, the start of the scan is entirely free of on-blast (an elevated background near m/z 0), thus allowing accurate and precise analysis of hydrogen at m/z 1 (Figure 2).

M/z 0.5-50的完整扫描显示样品的质谱。对于大多数扫描,包括出现氩气的M/z 20和40,设置了分析仪以进行单位分辨率,以最大程度地传输和灵敏度。

一种t m/z 5 and below however, the resolution was increased to completely separate the peaks of the low mass molecules.

出色的丰富灵敏度

丰度灵敏度是指峰在其最高点产生的信号之比与质量范围内在点+/- 1 DA生成的信号量。对于在散装气体频谱中主要峰的1 DA之内的分析质量下测量痕量成分是必要的出色丰度灵敏度。同样,超高分辨率使VeraSpec HRQ光谱仪具有大于10的丰度灵敏度6。在分析氦样品期间,峰值3他很容易区分4尽管较大的同位素的浓度大于500,000倍以上(图3)。

这Extrel “Complete System” Advantage

这VeraSpec line of quadrupole mass spectrometers is the result of years of partnership between Extrel and its academic, research and industrial customers. Each VeraSpec analyzer is a turn-key solution, allowing users to focus on their work instead of constructing an analyzer.

  • 设计:Each application requires particular capabilities. Proven, preconfigured Extrel parts can be easily and quickly integrated into a mass spectrometer customized to the task at hand.
  • Integration:System control, precision alignment and in-vacuum wiring can be complicated problems. Extrel analyzers are engineered with function and maintainability in mind, saving time and reducing costs down the road.
  • 验证:离开工厂之前,完整的系统稳定性和功能已得到证明和记录。
  • Support:合格的Extrel技术人员将能够安装该仪器,从而验证工厂运行的性能以实现最佳操作。此外,Extrel技术支持可以保证知道用户分析仪在系统一生中可以提供帮助的专家。
