GC-IMS

The Peak Machine allows two dimensional separations of volatiles compounds presented in complex matrix. The combination of Multi Capillary Column GC (MCCGC) with ion mobility spectrometer makes this instrument excellent for analysis of liquid and solids samples via the headspace technique. The Peak Machine operates in atmospheric as well like in sub atmospheric pressure. The AIMS working temperature 30-140 °C and resolving power up to 100 FWHM makes this instrument appropriate for analysis of flavours and odours presented and complex matrixes. The Peak Machine also allows plug-in of doping gas (Reactant ions modifier) to IMS what increase the selectivity of instrument for targeted compounds.

The Advanced Ion Mobility Spectrometer (AIMS) developed by MaSaTECH company offers resolution up to 100 FWHM, what is sufficient for separation of isomeric compounds. The big advantage of AIMS is its ability to work with atmospheric air as a buffer gas. This advantage reduces the operating costs to zero. The high sensitivity of IMS technique is in the MaSaTECH AIMS instrument improved by the corona discharge (CD) ionization source.
Among the other advantages like non-radioactivity and higher ion yield generation, offers
the CD selective reactant ions generations.
