Excellims provides a full range of components and complete turnkey systems for IMS researchers who do not have the time or manpower to build their own systems. Individual components that may be purchased include all the electronics you need to operate your own IMS drift tube. Excellims IMS controllers (standalone or rack mount) feature multiple power supplies, full function manual control, and advanced ion gate operation including manual gate on/off and user control of pulse function input terminal parameters. Controllers also include a full function remote computer control with hardware and software interface to other instruments and an optional second ion gate control. Other components available include Excellims high resolution drift tubes with optional Ni63, corona discharge, or electrospray ionization sources. Excellims VisIonTM software package allows complete control of an entire IMS system including electronics and data acquisition and has state of the art analysis routines for peak picking and data presentation.
Research Toolkits that include controllers and software provide everything you need to operate your own proprietary drift tube. Or, we can provide a complete modular system with drift tube, controller and VisIonTM software. Our High Resolution IMS drift tube can be equipped with the capability to do drift gas modification, essential if you wish to explore the unique capabilities of IMS for chiral separation. Research at Excellims and Washington State University has demonstrated that introducing a chiral modifier into the drift gas can selectively shift the drift times of enantiomers allowing them to be uniquely identified. This technique is ideal for rapid confirmation during method development and for quality control. We are now extending this technique to other types of drift gas modification which is a direct analog for changing the column in chromatography, except that in the IMS, the “column� can be changed on the fly. This technology is only available from Excellims and is protected by US patent US7,015,462.
In addition, Excellims will customize its high resolution IMS drift tube to enable it to interface with many commercially available mass spectrometers. Please contact our applications department with your special requirements.
