MCH Heater Used for Mass Spectrometers
Mass spectrometers are a technique for analyzing and identifying chemical substances by arranging gaseous ions in electromagnetic fields based on their mass-to-charge ratios. Mass spectrometers can detect most analytes per borehole, so it is essential to have a non-contaminating heat source. In addition, competing requirements for instrument designs to reduce size and complexity while increasing sensitivity are being challenged. Mass spectrometer heating elements , also called source heaters or gas line heaters, are used in mass spectrometers to turn the sample (typically in an aqueous or organic solution) into a vapor for analysis. Before the analyzer and detector areas, the heaters are part of the sample conditioning system, where the vaporized sample is then bombarded by ionized high-energy electrons and analyzed. Innovacera manufactures OEM and replacement heaters for a variety of mass spectrometer manufacturers and models. Heaters used in mass spectrometers are compact i
