Channeltron® Electron Multipliers

Channeltron® electron multipliers are recognized as offering high dynamic range along with increased ion sensitivity and reduced noise. These detectors are also available in various sizes, shapes, and voltages depending on the application. Their high gain and low mass makes Channeltrons® and ideal choice for many mass spectrometer manufacturers, physics labs, and space applications. Learn more about the customizations available by downloading the brochure below or contacting us today.

Also available are the new high collection efficiency MCPs which can increase the collection efficiency of your instrument up to 90%. With high sensitivity and low noise, these MCPs are ideal for applications which do not require sub-nano second timing. Learn more about Hi-CE MCPs by downloading this study or our brochure.

Resistive Glass Capillary Inlet Tubes

Photonis manufactures single and hexa-bore resistive glass inlet tubes for improved ion flow into the instrument. The patent resistive glass formula from Photonis preferentially attracts ions and guides them more effectively into the instrument, therefore increasing the sample output. Photonis tubes may increase ion transfer efficiency by a factor of 100x for a single-capillary tube and up to 1000x for a multi-capillary tube. All of Photonis’ capillary inlet tubes are available in standard inner diameter and outer diameter sizes or can be customized to fit seamlessly into your instrument.
