Mass Selection and Deposition with EXTREL MAX Systems

In today’s cutting-edge research laboratories, scientists are exploring and analyzing molecular clusters, ionic clusters, and nanostructures. To perform these experiments accurately, the EXTREL MAX Systems from Process Insights have become the premier choice for mass selection and deposition.

By combining high transmission quadrupole mass filters with advanced system design, EXTREL MAX Systems deliver excellent resolution and high ion current throughput, enabling:

• Precise cluster selection
• Rapid surface deposition
• High signal-to-noise performance for challenging experiments

Flexible and Customizable Configurations

Extrel offers a wide range of ion guide options and modular components to meet diverse experimental requirements:

• Quadrupole, hexapole, octupole, and conical octupole ion guides
• Cross Beam Deflector Ionizer
• Hexapole Collision Cell
• MAX Flange-Mounted Mass Spectrometers
• Standard and custom differentially pumped systems
• Standard and custom-length Einzel Stack focusing lenses

Additionally, individual components are available for user-designed systems, and custom engineering is offered for advanced configurations, including multiple chamber setups and differential pumping. For off-axis operation, ions can be bent to optimize signal while allowing neutrals to pass through efficiently.

Applications and Research Insights

The MAX Systems are widely used for:

• Collision cell efficiency studies (ASMS 2005)
