PTR-TOF 1000 Ultra

Compact IONICON ultra-sensitive PTR-TOF-MS - Trace VOC Analyzer.
The smallest, lightest and most affordable PTR-TOFMS now is ultra-sensitive.
The PTR-TOF 1000 ultra is the new benchmark for robust, compact and affordable real-time volatile organic compounds (VOC) analyzer. Based on the successful PTR-TOF 1000 series platform, the PTR-TOF 1000 ultra offers all benefits of an affordable, small and light PTR-TOFMS instrument, complemented by an outstanding sensitivity, previously only available from top-of-the-market instruments.
Up to 10x more sensitivity than its predecessor thanks to the revolutionary new ION-BOOSTER funnel technology.
Compared to traditional transfer lens systems, our funnel greatly improves ion transmission leading to a much higher sensitivity.

Quantitative analysis of the entire mass range in split-seconds and high mass resolution are features of all.

IONICON time-of-flight mass spectrometers. Direct injection of sample gas without preparation contributes to the speed and simplicity our instruments are known for.

The unique soft ionization (PTR) technology together with our extensive experience in gas-phase ion chemistry and engineering of scientific instruments are the basis for the reliability, ultra-low detection limit, fast response time and robustness of our PTR-MS systems.
  • Level of sensitivity: Up to 10 times higher with the Ion Booster
  • Sensitivity: > 500 cps/ppbv
  • Resolution: > 1500
  • Shorter integration time necessary to obtain an improved Limit-of-Detection (LoD) of < 5 pptv and to gain a lower relative error
  • No comprehensive modifications required
  • The high sensitivity makes the PTR-TOF 1000 Ultra the perfect tool for applications where the data integration time is limited, e.g. nose space analysis
  • Small and most affordable high sensitivity PTR-TOFMS instruments for fast measurements of low concentrated VOCs.
