Introduction of Mass Spectrometer Filament
INNOVACERA is glad to offer new standard filament assemblies, a critical component in mass spectrometry applications for the analytical and medical industries. Principle of the mass spectrometer filament The mass spectrometer filament is also called the ion source filament or the cathode filament. It is mainly made of high melting point metals such as tungsten (W) alloy or molybdenum alloy. Its function is similar to that of ordinary filaments. It mainly produces electron emission under high pressure and excites gaseous molecules into ions, thereby generating the charge-to-mass ratio signal required for mass spectrometry. These filament supports are manufactured using 96% alumina, selected for its good electrical insulation and high temperature stability. Customers can choose between two and four-pin options, with the pins brazed into the alumina insulator ready for filament welding. Our brazing process makes the filament considerably more resistant...
