Used THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC FAIMS #9108288 for sale

THERMO ELECTRON / THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC FAIMS (Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry) is an innovative spectrometer that allows the separation and identification of ions based on size, shape, and charge in a gas-filled electric field. This technology uses cyclic drift-dispersion forces to simultaneously address both charged and uncharged species and can produce highly reproducible separation profiles from complex samples. The instrument consists of an ion source, a drift tube, and an ion collector. The ion source is designed to generate ions from the sample and then inject them into the drift tube. The sample enters the ion source through an ionization region, where it is vaporized and ionized, generating a beam of ions with charge or mass number distributions. The drift tube consists of two electrodes which are placed at a specific distance and then connected to a high-voltage electric field. The field strength provided by the field electrodes is adjustable. The ionization process and the electric field combine to generate a force in the direction of the field. In the drift tube, this force causes the ions to drift-dispersion. The ions are then detected by the collector, where they are assigned mass-to-charge ratio values and measured. Finally, the drift-dispersion profiles of the ions in the drift-tube are stored and analyzed. This data allows the accurate identification of the ions based on their size, charge, and structural factors. THERMO ELECTRON FAIMS spectrometer is well-suited for applications such as biochemical, environmental, and food analysis since it is able to separate and identify ions in complex mixtures. It can provide fast and efficient separations and identify key compounds in samples, allowing for more accurate results than traditional chromatographic methods. Additionally, the instrument is easily customized to suit different types of applications and has a robust design that is capable of functioning in a variety of environmental conditions. THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC FAIMS spectrometer is an efficient and powerful tool for separating and identifying a wide range of ionic species in complex samples. The efficient separation and mass-to-charge ratio measurements of the instrument allow for more sensitive detection and identification of compounds with minimal sample preparation, making it an ideal instrument for a variety of applications.
