High-Transmission Ion Guides and Collision Cells

Our portfolio includes:

✅ Octupole and Hexapole Ion Guides

Designed for maximum ion transmission efficiency.
Standard configurations come with solid housings and integrated entrance/exit lenses.
Optional configurations include vented housings or open designs to support pressure reduction in demanding vacuum environments.
Ideal for ion focusing, transport, and interface regions.

✅ Quadrupole Ion Guides / Mass Filters

Dual-function: Acts as a high-transmission ion guide and a mass filter for applications requiring mass-to-charge selection.
Available with solid or vented housings or as open-structure components.
Precision-built for high-resolution mass spectrometry and selective ion manipulation.

✅ Conical Octupole Ion Guides

Engineered for the efficient collection and focusing of effusive ion sources.
Reduces ion beam spot size while enabling pressure reduction, ideal after Electrospray Ionization (ESI) sources or molecular beam systems.
Offers excellent performance in high-pressure ion transport scenarios.

✅ Collision Cells

Used for collisional cooling, reaction cell applications, and fragmentation processes.
Built with Extrel’s high-transmission octupole technology.
Low gas conductance housings with dedicated gas fittings ensure reliable performance and efficient gas dynamics.
