SC005 & SC008 – constant current / constant voltage types

FAST POLARITY SWITCHING HIGH VOLTAGE MODULES

Applications:

Mass spectrometer Electro Spray Ionization & Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization source

  • Constant voltage ESI: ±5kV or ±8kV types @ 500µA / 300µA & 2µA for nano spray applications
  • Tru-Current™ APCI: <2μA to ±50μA with adjustable compliance voltage
  • Fast polarity switching within 10mS or 50mS types
  • True zero volt crossing
  • Short circuit and flashover proof, fully screened metal case for good EMI immunity

This range of high performance mass spectrometer source supplies has been specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s high throughput mass spectrometers. Featuring Tru-Current™ technology with control at the APCI source, and fast polarity changeover in less than 10mS, these supplies are ideal for multimode source applications where changeover and setting time are critical.
