MCH Heater Used for Mass Spectrometers
Mass spectrometers are a technique for analyzing and identifying chemical substances by arranging gaseous ions in electromagnetic fields based on their mass-to-charge ratios.
Mass spectrometers can detect most analytes per borehole, so it is essential to have a non-contaminating heat source. In addition, competing requirements for instrument designs to reduce size and complexity while increasing sensitivity are being challenged.
Mass spectrometer heating elements, also called source heaters or gas line heaters, are used in mass spectrometers to turn the sample (typically in an aqueous or organic solution) into a vapor for analysis. Before the analyzer and detector areas, the heaters are part of the sample conditioning system, where the vaporized sample is then bombarded by ionized high-energy electrons and analyzed.
