What are the advantages of PTR-MS compared to SIFT-MS?
Unlike SIFT-MS, PTR-MS does not dilute low concentrated samples by any carrier gas and does not waste any precursor ions in a mass filter between the source and the drift tube hence PTR-MS is much more sensitive, has a lower detection limit and doesn’t need any gas supply (proton transfer from H3O+ ions). Our instruments are light-weight (i.e. the portable Compact PTR-MS weights only 55 Kg) and space-saving which clearly puts us ahead of technologies like SIFT-MS. Learn more…
