The PTR-TOF 6000 analyzes trace VOCs using high-performance PTR-TOF-MS (proton transfer reaction time of flight mass spectrometry). It also incorporates X2 technology, enhancing both sensitivity and mass-resolving power.

  • Detection limit: <1 pptv
  • Sensitivity: >2000 cps/ppbv
  • Mass Resolution: >6000

Overview

For a potent PTR-TOFMS experience, IONICON's unique PTR technology with TRU-E/N combines a high-resolution ioniTOF in the PTR-TOF 6000.

This instrument utilizes the X2 technology, which combines the hexapole ION-GUIDE and the most recent version of the ION-BOOSTER funnel. Thanks to the ion funnel's ability to focus ions into the hexapole ion guide, an incredibly focused ion beam is transmitted almost losslessly into the TOF mass spectrometer. This boosts the instrument's mass-resolving power and increases sensitivity.

The patented IONICON ion-chemistry quality guarantees the highest level of quantification accuracy, well-reproducible measurement results, and precise E/N conditions.
