1 cm3 CIT
Our mass spectrometers are exceptionally compact because they incorporate a Cylindrical Ion Trap (CIT) developed at Purdue University and commercialized by Griffin. This significant advancement in MS capability allows for utilization in the field of technology that previously was only available in laboratories. By incorporating CITs into Griffin's family of products, the vacuum requirements normally associated with laboratory units have been reduced, the power requirements minimized, and all achieved with analytical performance equivalent or better than traditional laboratory ion traps and quadrupoles.
By utilizing the power of CITs, the overall size of the units has been dramatically reduced while at the same time, providing the ultimate in spectral information with MS/MS.
