How Channeltron® CEMs Transform Mass Spectrometry
Photonis, part of Exosens, sets the standard in ion detection with Channeltron® Channel Electron Multipliers (CEMs) — the key to ultra-sensitive ion detection and high-precision electron amplification.
From mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical and forensic analysis to electron microscopy, space exploration, and nuclear research, Channeltron CEMs provide the performance needed for groundbreaking discoveries.
Photonis’s advanced designs provide the highest sensitivity through superior signal collection and noise reduction. Available in various shapes, sizes, and voltages, Channeltron CEMS are engineered to deliver the highest performance on the market. Cones, grids, coatings, collectors, and leads can all be specified, or you can choose one of our many standard models. Improvements in conversion dynode technology have resulted in structures capable of operation at higher voltages and materials with improved ion-to-electron conversion yields for better sensitivity at higher masses.
More than half of the world’s mass spectrometer manufacturers rely on Channeltron detectors to improve the reliability of their instruments. Due to their low mass and high gain, Channeltron electron multipliers are also used in many nuclear physics labs and space applications to count electrons and charged particles in pulse mode operation. Other applications include residual gas analysis, plasma analysis, Auger, electron spectrometers, SEM, FIB and leak detectors.
Channeltron advantages are:
- Longer life
- Higher dynamic range
- Reduced ion feedback
- Noise less than 1 count/second
- Excellent single ion sensitivity
- Superior signal amplification
- Fast & accurate detection
- Expanded dynamic range
- Unrivaled sensitivity
- Unmatched performance
Power your instrument with the best in ion detection.
