BaySpec APCI Ionization Source

Ambient Ionization Sources for Portable Mass Spectrometers

BaySpec offers many types of ionization sources to use with our Portability™ and Continuity™ portable mass spectrometers. Delivering ultimate mobility and ease of use, BaySpec’s Portability™ and Continuity™ are compatible with ambient ionization techniques, which do not require any gases or tanks to run measurements. Making it ideal for field analysis, ambient ionization does not require sample preparation; sample introduction quick, direct, and easy to perform by anyone in any location. Providing flexibility to perform applications using various ionization techniques, the external ionization sources can also easily be swapped in less than a minute.

Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI)

Well-suited for less polar and some nonpolar molecules, generating primarily singly charged ions. APCI operates effectively without auxiliary gas and offers adjustable probe tip positioning for maximum sensitivity, supporting both positive and negative ion modes.
