New Benchmark for On-line VOC Monitoring / Real-Time Mass Spectrometry, for the First Time Touching a Ppqv-range (Parts per Quadrillion) Detection Limit.

Ionicon (Austria) PTR-MS technology is trusted by scientists all over the world with good reason and is known for a market-leading single-digit pptv-level detection limit for most VOCs. With the new PTR+SRI-MS featuring not only H3O+ but also O2 + and NO+ to chemically ionize a sample, Ionicon has taken this proven technology one step further.

For this new line of Ionicon PTR-MS instruments the sensitivity has been greatly enhanced for all three precursor ions yielding an unmatched detection limit in the several 100 ppqv-range that has been recorded using an off-the-shelve, Ionicon High-Sensitivity PTR-Quad-MS instrument with SRI capabilities.

This important achievement is the outcome of Ionicon’s commitment to excellence in engineering and to a continuous technological evolution Ionicon shares with its PTR-MS customers.
