Questions answered in these manuals
What is the main advantage of the inert ion source?
It provides excellent sensitivity for active compounds and requires fewer cleaning operations because active compounds have difficulty depositing on its highly inert surface.
Does the system require pre-filters?
No, the true hyperbolic quadrupole eliminates the need to install complex pre-filters.
How long does it take to access the ion source without tools?
Access to the ion source, electron multiplier, and mass analyzer is possible in just 2 minutes without tools.
What is the mass axis stability of the system?
The system provides stable mass axis performance for over 48 hours.
What is the main advantage of the inert source?
It provides exceptional sensitivity for chemically active compounds by eliminating surface reactions.
What is the stated mass axis stability of the MSD 5973 Inert?
The mass axis stability is 0.10 uma over a period of 48 hours.
