Mass spectrometer Argus VI™

for noble gas analysismagnetic sector

Measure all five argon isotopes simultaneously with the Thermo Scientific™ Argus VI™ static vacuum mass spectrometer (SVMS). Built on a platform of field-proven technology based on more than 30 years of experience in noble gas mass spectrometry, the Argus VI SVMS is the go-to workhorse of noble gas isotope ratio mass spectrometry. With exciting new technological innovations such as Emission Suppression Technology (EST), the Argus VI SVMS will revolutionize your science. Small but mighty The Argus VI SVMS is the smallest volume noble gas mass spectrometer (NG-MS) available on the market. With an internal volume of 700 cm3, the Argus VI SVMS is three times more sensitive than any other NG-MS. 5 fixed Faraday detectors + optional CDD minimizes internal volume. Patented Beam Deflection Technology caters to a wide range of applications whilst maintaining small sample volume. Narrow flight tube to minimize internal volume. Flexibility for all applications The patented Beam Deflection Technology (BDT) provides the flexibility to measure the minor 36Ar beam with either a Faraday cup or an electron multiplier, catering for a wide range of applications and sample sizes. Analysis without compromise The patented Thermo Scientific™ Emission Suppression Technology (EST) revolutionizes noble gas isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
