First Time Exhibitor TOF Analyser Wins Bronze
May 26 2010
A new miniature multi-turn time-of-flight (TOF) analyser ‘infiTOF’, released by first time Pittcon exhibitors MSI Tokyo, won the Pittcon Bronze Editors’ Choice Award. Their infiTOF mass spectrometer is based on orbi-electrode technology that dramatically shrinks the size of a TOF MS instrument. This instrument consists of an electron ionisation source, the multi-turn TOF analyser, a detector, vacuum system and electrical circuits. The multi-turn TOF analyser consists of four electrostatic toroidal sectors and two additional electric toroidal sectors for the purpose of an ion injection/ejection. The size of the system is 456mm x 234mm x 640mm and weighs 35kg, including the vacuum pump and electric circuits. The multi-turn TOF analyser is capable of high mass resolving power due to its infinite flight path using perfect space and time focused closed flight orbit. The MULTUM-S II offers high mass resolution in a miniaturised mass spectrometer. The company started as a venture of Osaka University.
Shinichi Miki, of MSI Tokyo, commented: “I have been working on MS for more then 20 years and I still believe that MS has many more possibilities. MultiTurn technology has a chance to open a new door.”
