The Widest Possible Range Available on Isotope Ratio MS
Universal Triple Collector
The universal triple collector is standard on the DELTA V platform and is suitable for all standard applications involving N2, CO, NO, O2, CO2, N2O and SO2.
D/H Collector
A H2 collector with two additional Faraday cups for m/z 2 and 3 is optional for both the DELTA V Advantage and the DELTA V Plus. Because measurement of D/H in Continuous Flow mode requires complete removal of low energy 4He+ ions from the HD+ ion beam at m/z 3, a unique ion optical element is built into the m/z 3 cup which removes all ions other than HD+, even at high He carrier gas loads.
Individual Collector Arrangements
The DELTA V Plus collector array is prepared for up to 10 collectors with deep individually shielded long-life Faraday cups. It offers the choice of several collector widths for optimal tailored solutions combining specific and standard cup systems within the same collector array. Configurations include e.g. m/z 28 to 46 for all major gases and isotopes in air; N2+ — NO+ — N2O+ for N2O isotopomers; simultaneous CO+ — CO2+ experiments; m/z 48 to 66 for SO+ — SO2+ for 18O-corrected SO2 measurements.
