FT-IR Spectrometer

The 403 Aëolos® Quadro quadrupole mass spectrometer is a new compact mass spectrometer with a heated capillary inlet system for routine analysis of gases and, in particular, volatile Decomposition products of thermal analysis. This system is optimized for coupling to differential scanning calorimeters (DSCs), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGAs) and dilatometers (DILs). The software is unique: fully integrated MS software for measurement and analysis.

Capillary Coupling for Optimized Gas Flow Conditions

Single-step pressure reduction

Minimization of cold spots in the entire transfer path of the gases due to an even temperature of 300°C (optionally 350°C)

Heated chamber for easy handling and precise adjustment of the quartz glass capillary inlet to the QMS

Flexible, allowing standard thermoanalytical measurements and also simultaneous TGA, MS (GC-MS) and MS-FT-IR measurements

Very robust and service-friendly while still maintaining high sensitivity (detectable mass loss in the μg-range)

TGA-MS measurements under humid atmospheres possible

Hyperbolic quadrupole system with pre-filter for improved transmission in the high mass range and improved sensitivity in the low mass range (e.g., H2, He)

SEM with discrete dynodes and integrated Faraday cup for high dynamic range and long lifetime

3-D presentation of MS and thermal analysis data

Operation and data evaluation with Proteus® software

Sophisticated Heated Transfer System and Single-Step Pressure Reduction for Loss-Free Gas Transport

This achieves a high detection sensitivity and facilitates quantitative detection of all identified gas components.
