Components Products
Ionizers and Ion Optics
Our Ionizers are built for high performance and are offered in a number of different ionization techniques with a wide range of options.
We provide both standard off-the-shelf Ion Optics as well as custom designed devices to fit customer application requirements. We offer devices for energy analysis as well as ion transport.
Note: Ionizer options for our research line of MS systems cannot be readily applicated to our MAX300 lines of laboratory and process MS systems.
Ion Guides and Collision Cells
We provides various configurations of Ion Guides and Collision Cells. Each configuration is designed for a specific application. They are all built for the highest possible ion transmission and the best possible phase space compression.
In addition to our Ion Guides and Collision Cells listed below, we can also design and build custom ion guides. We also offer RF-only power supplies that are needed to operate the ion guides and collision cells.
Quadrupole Mass Filters
Our Quadrupole Mass Filters have long been known for their high performance, innovative design and rugged construction. To provide a wide selection of mass ranges and performance options, our quadrupoles are manufactured in three (3) different rod sizes, 19mm, 9.5mm and 6mm. From Helium and Deuterium separation, to Cluster and Biomolecule deposition and analysis.

Other Features
Ionizers and Ion Optics
- Electron Ionization (EI) – Our EI ion sources include an Einzel lens stack and are designed for high transmission to give you the best resolution, sensitivity and abundance sensitivity. They are offered with a wide range of options including, choice of filament material, open or enclosed ion regions and axial or right angle designs.
- Chemical Ionization (CI) - When a softer ionization technique is required, a CI source should be used. Our CI sources include an Einzel lens stack and come with the ability to do both EI and CI ionization. Options include multi-port inlets and a choice of filament material.
- Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API) – The API source is ideal for parts per trillion (ppt) detection of atmospheric pollutants or trace impurities in pure gases.
- Ion-Molecule Reaction Ionization– The ion molecule reaction source allows you to do Protonation of species and also acts as a CI ionizer with variable reaction times and distances. It has a number of gas inlets and offers very precise reaction control.
- Ion Optics - A variety of geometries is available for transferring ions throughout a vacuum system
Ion Guides and Collision Cells
- Octupoles and Hexapoles are designed for maximum ion transmission. The Standard configuration includes a solid housing with entrance and exit lenses. We also offer our octupoles and hexapoles with vented housings or no housing for pressure reduction.
- Quadrupoles are high transmission Quadrupole Mass Filters that can be used as ion guides in applications where Mass Selection is also required. The mass filter is offered with a solid housing, a vented housing, or can be supplied without housing.
- Conical Octupoles are uniquely designed for high transmission of ions from an effusive source and can reduce them to a small spot size while simultaneously providing pressure reduction. They are ideal for use after an ESI Source or after the first orifice of a molecular beam system.
- Collision Cells are designed for use as Reaction Cells or for Collisional Cooling. Our collision cells use our high transmission octupole ion guides. They are equipped with low gas conductance housings and gas fittings.
Quadrupole Mass Filters
Our standard quadrupoles are equipped with pre and post filters to provide the highest possible ion transmission, thus offering the best resolution, sensitivity and abundance sensitivity. The standard quadrupole configuration also includes housing and entrance and exit lenses. For those applications that require additional pumping around the quadrupole, we offer vented housings as well as systems without housings.
