MS-1000 Compact Secondary Ion Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometer for Surface Analysis.

MS-1000 is a bench-top scale analyser that identifies the chemistry and molecular structure of the surface of solid samples.
MS-1000 is a time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (SIMS) and operates in the static mode of SIMS; meaning that it is highly sensitive and analyses only the topmost layer of molecules on the sample.
MS-1000 is unlike any other SIMS; it is affordable (under £100,000), very easy to use and has a fast sample turnaround time of 15 minutes.
MS-1000 is designed for product quality control and fault diagnosis at or close to the point of manufacture; areas where other surface analysers have proved uneconomical or technically unfeasible.
The combination of both mass analyser and ion gun in one unit makes MS-1000 the world's smallest static SIMS instrument!

MS-1000's applications include:

Analysing adhesion in coatings and composite materials
Contamination in semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical preparation and the environment
Testing for biocompatibility
Quality check of surface modification by plasma treatments e.g. polymers
Analysis of organic binders used as paint pre-treatments
