Thermal Desorption Spectrometer

Prevac_Thermal_Desorption_Spectrometer

Description:

Our TDS Control Application allows precise control of Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy processes with fully integrated management of a temperature controller (Eurotherm 2408/3216 or Prevac PID Regulator) and mass spectrometer combination.

It is applicable for both UHV and ambient thermal desorption applications based on choice of mass spectrometer type which can either be a residual gas analyzer (SRS RGA100/200/300) or an atmospheric pressure gas analyzer (SRS QMS100/200/300).

The graphical control interface contains one chart for easy and convenient interpretation of all acquired data and settings of the thermal process. Every segment of the thermal process can be defined to within 1 second accuracy. The Number of segments is unlimited. Segments not yet executed can be edited in real time during the process simply by clicking a selected segment on the graph or via the point editor tab. The TDS Control Application module allows fully functional control of both the mass spectrometer and temperature controller, including data acquisition, graphical display and data storage. The user can edit and control mass scan parameters, including mass number, range, detector type and scan speed. We also include an internal library, or Mass List Editor, from which common species can be conveniently chosen.
