ToF-CIMS
Chemical Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer; Real-time chemical analysis of trace gases, aerosols, or atmospheric ions. Designed for laboratory, field, or mobile platform based experiments. The ToF-CIMS is used with three different chemical ionization sources, which can be easily interchanged by the user. Flow Tube Ion Molecule Reaction Chamber (IMR): Reduced, tunable pressure (30 to 500 mbar) reaction ionization chamber for use with acetate, iodide, and water cluster reagent ions. Atmospheric Pressure Drift Tube Reaction Chamber: For use with nitrate reagent ion. Measurement of highly oxidized gas-phase organic compounds. Extractive Electrospray Ionization Source (EESI): Ionization source for online molecular analysis of aerosols.
