BURLE Electro-Optics Announces Co-Axial Time-of-Flight Detector for Mass Spectrometry

BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc., a PHOTONIS Group company announces the release its new patent pending, high performance, high speed Co-Axial BiPolar Time-of-Flight detector for Mass Spectrometry applications.

This detector incorporates the high temporal resolution of the MCP based detectors with the co-axial capabilities of flat metal anode detectors. The design enables instrument designers to adapt existing instruments or design new simpler versions with smaller vacuum systems and lower cost co-axial geometry.

The efficiency of BURLE’s proven BiPolar TOF technology is preserved in this design and offers highest levels of sensitivity, temporal resolution, dynamic range, and high mass detection currently available in the market. In addition to its 10 kV post acceleration, it offers BURLE’s exclusive Extended Dynamic Range™ small pore Microchannel Plates with high channel densities.

The new detector is enclosed in a low-profile assembly combining a highly sensitive Microchannel Plate and electro-optically isolated output signal. It is available for flight tube mounting, un-mounted, or mounted on a Conflat flange.

Unique features of the BURLE BiPolar detectors include the flat MCP input surface and exclusive Extended Dynamic Range™ small pore Microchannel Plates. The detector can be biased up to ±10 kV to enhance detection of high mass, positive or negative ions. In addition, a proprietary enhancement coating is added to the ion conversion surface for greater conversion efficiency. The detector offers system gains up to 107 and excellent temporal bi-polar resolution.

The addition of the BURLE Electro-Optics patent pending Co-Axial BiPolar Time-of-Flight Detector rounds out the world’s largest selection of Time-of-Flight detectors with 20 models in sizes ranging from 8 mm to 40 mm.

This Co-Axial BiPolar Time-of-Flight Detector is available immediately and may be purchased by calling 1-800-648-1800 or +1-508-347-4000.
