MiniSIMS

The MiniSIMS is an economical tabletop system that combines the features of a large laboratory SIMS in a single compact device. The simple operating procedure allows the operator to quickly get accustomed with the device, requiring no expert SIMS knowledge.

The instrument uses a focused primary beam of gallium ions and is sensitive down to the lower ppm range. It masters the static (broad beam), spatially resolved (chemical mapping), dynamic (depth profiling) analysis.

SAI MiniSIMS

MiniSIMS alpha

  • Quadrupole Spectrometer (QP)
  • Mass 3 to 300 u
  • Acquisition time per spectrum 10 to 30 s

MiniSIMS-TOF

  • Time-of-flight Spectrometer (TOF)
  • Mass 1 to >1200 u
  • Measurement time per spectrum <1 s
  • Retrospective spectral analysis

In addition to the MiniSIMS, SAI also manufactures MALDI and GC-TOF. The centerpiece is the TOF detector developed in-house.
