Features
Unlock unparalleled precision and elevate your research with the HS2022, the world’s most sensitive small-radius Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) from Sercon Limited. Dive into a realm of advanced design features that set the HS2022 apart:
- Ultra-High Vacuum Purity: The all-stainless-steel and metal gasket construction flight tube ensures ultra-high vacuum purity, minimizing backgrounds, and achieving zero water contamination.
- True Differential Pumping: Experience superior ion transfer through the flight tube with dual Turbo-molecular Pumps true differential pumping, ensuring optimal performance from the high-sensitivity source to the expansive dynamic range collectors. Eliminate abundance sensitivity during continuous flow applications and memory effects.
- Extended Geometry with Double Direction Focusing: The 120° extended geometry with an 11cm radius magnetic sector provides an effective 21cm radius dispersion and double-direction focusing. This unique design minimizes helium ‘tailing’ in the D/H collector.
- Universal Faraday Triple Collectors: Truly universal Faraday triple collectors allow simultaneous collection of adjacent masses without adjustments, providing flexibility in the range 28,29,30 – 64,65,66. Additional single Faraday collector and high-gain amplifier enhance versatility for Hydrogen measurements.
- Software Control: Select the desired combination of the four collectors effortlessly through software control. Options include software switchable variable gain amplifiers and 50V amplifier outputs for customized configurations.
Asymmetric Extended Geometry: Achieve true stigmatic focusing with twice the dispersion of normal geometry, maintaining sensitivity with a shorter path length. - Versatile Mass Range: Covering a mass range from 2 to 96 AMU, the HS2022 is ideal for analysing light stable isotopes in commonly measured gases, including H2, N2, NO, N2O, O2, CO, CO2, SO, and SO2.
- Triple Port Reference Gas Injection System: Calibrate each sample efficiently using the triple port reference gas injection system, offering software-controlled size, type, and positioning of reference gas pulses.
- State-of-the-Art Data Acquisition System: The data acquisition system employs highly stable and linear high-frequency converters, producing integral slices with zero dead time and quantization below the beam statistical noise floor at all signal levels.
Immerse yourself in a world of precision and innovation with the HS2022, where every feature is designed to enhance your isotopic analysis experience.
