A NOVEL MODULAR AND VERSATILE TOF PLATFORM COMBINABLE WITH VARIOUS ION SOURCES

摘要

Time-Of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometers are state-of-the-art analyzers not only in Proton-TransferReaction - Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) [1], but many other fields. Depending on the application the TOF instruments range from bulky high-resolution to compact low-resolution models. Here we present a novel modular TOF design, which can be adjusted in dimensions and mass resolution and used in combination with various ion sources.
