Membrane introduction-mass spectrometry (MIMS), NIST chemistry web book, analytical chemistry, contaminated environmental water, real time, VOCs, parts per million (ppm).

Sub base, Bore Hole and Groundwork analysis using Mass Spectrometry. The Aspec MS system is ideal for the analysis of sub ground environments because of the following reasons: Fast deployment of MS instrument. Fast detection and analysis of both known and unknown gas species. Large dynamic range of detection. Easy manipulation of data. External interface for connection to other instruments such as GPS and depth profile probes. Several sample inlet types available.

The Aspec Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system is an ideal analysis tool for real time measurements and monitoring. By connecting the specially designed, heated Aspec QMS sample Inlet probe, evolved gases from a process within a reactor can be measured and recorded with respect to time. This example of a typical Catalyst driven Polyethylene reaction helps to demonstrate the capability of the Aspec QMS instrument.

Pure and Trace Gas analysis in the Bulk Gas, Fermentation, Food and Beverage Industries using Mass Spectrometry. Hundreds of gas`s measured with one instrument, Multi applications in one design, Large dynamic ranges (9 decades), Fast analysis speeds. (ms), Very little Sample preparation, Compact, light weight robust design, Low cost capital expense and cost of ownership, PC based, Powerful, Comprehensive software, Little specialised knowledge required.

A typical blast furnace is used to produce pig Ion. Fuel: Fuel ore, flux (limestone) are continuously fed to the top of the furnace. Whilst often Oxygen enriched air is fed into the bottom. Product moves slowly down through the furnace and a series of chemical reactions takes place resulting in a carefully controlled raw product. Throughout the ion making process waste gases are produced. Measuring and monitoring these gases precisely using Mass Spectrometry allows the operator to control the process and efficiency of the furnace. 

The Aspec Mass Spectrometer system is ideal for interfacing with most Thermal Gravimetric Analysers. By connecting the specially designed, heated Mass Spectrometer sample Inlet probe, evolved gases from a heated sample within the TGA reactor can be measured and recorded with respect to time. In addition, both the temperature ramp (profile) and weight loss signals from the TGA can be integrated directly into the Mass Spectrometer software. It is also important to start the data acquisition of both instruments (TGA and MS) at the same time. There is a built in digital “trigger input signal” that allows this. In this way Time t=0 can be synchronised to both instruments.
