3F PIC Triple-Filter Mass Spectrometers
For further information and pricing, please get in touch with us.
The 3F PIC Series is designed for fast-event studies that demand high sensitivity and time resolution. A triple-filter quadrupole and pulse-ion-counting detector capture transient species during UHV temperature-programmed desorption, pulsed gas experiments and related time-resolved research.
Applications
The analyser combines pre- and post-filters with the primary mass filter to improve abundance sensitivity and resistance to unwanted ions. Pulse-ion counting provides a continuous seven-decade measurement range, while standard acquisition reaches up to 1,000 data points per second.
UHV-compatible mass-filter shrouds and a low-profile ion source enable close positioning to the desorption surface. Analogue and digital inputs support synchronised acquisition, and MASsoft software can display mass-channel data alongside sample temperature. The result is a configurable fast-transient mass spectrometry platform for resolving short-lived signals across the documented acquisition modes.
The system is supplied with MASsoft Professional software.
This Windows 10 and Windows 11 compatible software allows control of the instrument via USB 2.0, RS232 or Ethernet. Provides comprehensive I/O for data output and for reading data from external devices for integration and display with mass spectrometer data.
