The PTR-TOF 1000 ultra is the new benchmark for ultra-sensitive volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis in real-time. Integrated in an affordable, small, and light PTR-TOFMS instrument.
In 2014 the launch of the PTR-TOF 1000 was a milestone. It is IONICON’s first PTR-TOFMS instrument featuring all advantages of a time of flight mass spectrometer, but with the lower price tag of a quadrupole based PTR-MS. Driven by the market success of this instrument, the IONICON engineers created an instrument that provides an up 10x higher sensitivity: the PTR-TOF 1000 ultra. Based on the same platform it is still IONICON’s smallest, lightest, and most affordable ultrasensitive PTR-TOFMS trace gas analyzer.
PTR-MS is known for its unmatched capability to detect ultra-low concentrations of VOCs in air or gas in real-time. Now IONICON experts take the sensitivity of PTR-MS to the next level, introducing the ION-BOOSTER funnel technology. An ion funnel is an array of ring electrodes with decreasing orifice sizes. A RF-voltage is applied that focuses the ions through the lenses. Compared to traditional transfer lens systems, our funnel greatly improves ion transmission leading to a much higher sensitivity.
