Mass spectrometers?is a technique of analyzing and identifying chemical substances by arranging gaseous ions in electromagnetic fields based upon their mass-to-charge ratios.
?Mass spectrometers have the ability to detect most analytes per borehole, so it is essential to have a non-contaminating?heat source. In addition, competing requirements for instrument designs to reduce size and complexity while still increasing sensitivity are being challenged.
?Mass spectrometer heating elements, also referred to as source heaters or gas line heaters, are used in mass spectrometers to turn the sample (typically in an aqueous or organic solution) into a vapor for analysis. The heaters are part of the sample conditioning system, prior to the analyzer and detector areas, where the vaporized sample is then bombarded by ionized high-energy electrons and analyzed.
?
Heaters used in mass spectrometers are compact in design?and provide a fairly high power density. They are fast responding and operate at temperatures up to 400 °C. They include internal temperature sensors for accurate control and limiting.
