Discover the isotopic anatomy of molecules Mass resolving power greater than 30,000 The new 253 Ultra HR-IRMS combines a 10 kv electron impact ionization source, a high-mass-resolution double-focusing magnetic-sector mass analyzer, and a variable collector array. The 253 Ultra HR-IRMS delivers a guaranteed mass resolving power of 30,000. High, medium and low resolution are selected automatically by each method using a switchable entrance slit. Focus quadrupole Zoom lens ELECTROSTATIC SECTOR The electrostatic sector analyzer (ESA) with a radius of 220 mm refocuses the energy dispersion of the ions prior to the magnetic sector. ENTRANCE SLIT The computer-controlled entrance slits can be switched between 5 μm and 250 μm which allows the selection of low, medium and high mass resolution. Modular concept The 253 Ultra HR-IRMS includes two dual viscous flow inlet systems for handling up to 3 reference gases together with the sample. Based on our modular dual inlet design each dual inlet can be exchanged as required to avoid cross contamination depending on the sample types that are being analyzed. 10 KV ION SOURCE The gas tight electron impact ion source with a wide range of adjustable electron energy and variable pumping conductance provides ultra high sensitivity. The ion source preserves clumping and isotopic distribution in the ions because of its low scrambling characteristics.
MAGNETIC SECTOR The temperature-controlled, laminated electromagnet has a radius of 230 mm. The overall magnification of the system is a factor of 2, yielding a dispersion of 810 mm. The mass range is up to mass 280 at full acceleration voltage. The mass range can be extended to 560 at reduced accelerating potential and reduced mass resolving power. Ultimate abundance sensitivity The variable collector array covers a dynamic range of signal intensity >10 orders of magnitude, ranging from collection of the more abundant ion beams in Faraday cups to single ion counting of very rare ion species. Very small signals can be analyzed with the axial secondary electron multiplier, which is equipped with our unique RPQ retardation lens for ultimate abundance sensitivity. VARIABLE MULTICOLLECTOR On either side of the fixed axial collector there are 4 moveable detector platforms. Each variable detector platform is equipped with a Faraday detector and in addition can carry a compact discrete dynode (CDD) ion counting detector. In total 9 Faraday cups and 8 ion counters can be installed in the variable collector array. RPQ SEM The axial detector channel is a dual mode detector with a Faraday cup and a high sensitivity ion counting detector (SEM). In front of the SEM is a retarding potential quadrupole (RPQ) to reduce the abundance sensitivity for measurement of very small ion beams. Q T E D R G I V E N R A B Y S I S D Fully integrated workflow The new Qtegra intelligent scientific data solution revolutionizes the procedures of isotope ratio analysis by fully integrated workflows making high resolution isotope ratio MS a routine tool. Qtegra software combines all experiments related to a specific sample in one lab book organizing data acquisitions, combining and computing data streams, presenting final results of even complex analysis.
