Application of SIMION 6.0 to Problems in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Steven Colby and John Manura Delayed Extraction and Laser Desorption: Time-lag Focusing and Beyond Steven Colby Santford Overton and John ManuraHyperlink to any of the above titles to view an abstract on the above posters. One particular paper of importance to the mass spectrometer user is the poster presentation on Thursday by Sandy on Pump Oils for vacuum pumps. For this paper we ran 2 vacuum pumps with 2 different oils (Inland 19 & Invoil 45) for three months. Oil samples were removed every week and analyzed via purge and trap GC/MS. The two pump oils were then compared to demonstrate the degradation of these oils and to show why pump oils should be changed frequently. Steven Colby will also be presenting several posters to demonstrate the use of the SIMION 3D software in the design of mass spectrometer sources (Monday) and in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers (Thursday). Additional applications of Simion can also be discussed with Steve at our hospitality suite.

Edwards
Vacuum Pumps Now Available from SIS
SIS has just acquired a dealership for the Edwards line of Vacuum pumps
and Diffusion pumps. We have had many requests from our customers to carry
the Edward vacuum rough pumps as replacements for their mass spectrometers.
Many manufacturers such as Hewlett Packard use the Edwards pumps in their
new mass spectrometers. In addition many users prefer the Edwards pumps
because they are much quieter than other direct drive rough pumps on the
market. We have carried the Alcatel line of pumps for many years and will
continue to carry both the Alcatel and Edwards lines of Vacuum Pumps and
accessories. Give us a call
with your requirements.

Micro
Cryo-Trap to be Introduced at Pitt Con by SIS
SIS has developed a new 1.0" long GC Cryo-Trap for trapping volatiles at
the front of a GC column. This new product will be introduced at PittCon
in March. We have conducted studies that have shown that the trapping region
in the GC Cryo-Trap can be 1.0 inch or less in length. The new Micro GC
Cryo-Trap uses less than 3% of the cooling gas that would be required
to cool the entire GC oven and less than 1/4 the cooling gas used to cryo-trap
via other trapping devices on the market. The result is more efficient
trapping of volatiles at temperatures down to -70 degrees C using liquid
CO2 and down to -180 degrees C using liquid nitrogen. In addition the trap
can be heated up to 400 degrees C at a ballistic ramp rate of about 1000
degrees per minute to rapidly and efficiently release the volatile organics.
Additional details are listed on the Micro
Cryo-Trap pages and Application
Note 38 fully describes this product.

SIMION
3D Ion Optics Modeling Software from SIS
SIS is now your dealer for SIMION 3D Ion Optics Modeling Software. For
detailed information on SIMION see the SIMION
Section. Simion is now available at a special introductory price of
only $495.00
Simion 3D version 6.0 is a new PC based ion optics simulation program designed for modeling ions mass spectrometers and other ion optic instruments. At SIS we use this program to design new mass spectrometer filaments and to study mass spec source design. Manufacturers of electron multipliers use this software to design their detectors and instrument designers use it to design new instruments and to maximize the sensitivity of the instruments. Use this powerful software to study ion source and detector optics in time-of-flight, quadrupole, ion trap and magnetic sector mass spectrometers in order to discover improvements that can be made to your instruments as well as to develop new instrument designs.
Steve Colby is responsible for the addition of this new product to SIS and can answer your technical questions on SIMION. Steve plans several posters for presentation at ASMS and will be there to answer your questions. Contact us.

Scientific
Software Available from Scientific Instrument Services
In addition to the SIMION software, SIS can now supply more than 2000 other
software titles for the mass spectrometer user, chemist, scientist or engineer.
These products include software for data analysis, quality control, laboratory
management, CAD, data compression, plotting, process control, word processing,
drawing, presentation, modeling, simulation and much more. To find the
software product that you have been looking for visit the Software
pages now under construction or contact us.
