Setting a New Benchmark for MS

Ionicon is setting a new benchmark for on-line VOC monitoring/real-time mass spectrometry, for the first time touching a ppqv-range (parts per quadrillion) detection limit.

Ionicon PTR-MS technology is trusted by scientists all over the world with good reason and is known for a market-leading single-digit pptv-level detection limit for most VOCs.

With the new PTR+SRI-MS featuring not only H3O+ but also O2+ and NO+ to chemically ionise a sample, Ionicon has taken this proven technology one step further.

For this new line of Ionicon PTR-MS instruments the sensitivity has been greatly enhanced for all three precursor ions yielding an unmatched detection limit in the several 100 ppqv-range that has been recorded using an off-the-shelve, Ionicon High-Sensitivity PTR-Quad-MS instrument with SRI capabilities.

This important achievement is the outcome of Ionicon’s commitment to excellence in engineering and to a continuous technological evolution Ionicon shares with its PTR-MS customers.
