Triton™ Series Multicollector Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer

Extract high-precision isotope ratio information from your samples with the Thermo Scientific™ Triton™ Series Multicollector Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (TIMS).

The Thermo Scientific™ Triton™ XT TIMS integrates the established field-proven technologies from the Triton Series instruments with the latest developments in technology for isotope ratio analysis from Thermo Fisher Scientific™.

The result of over two decades of development

The Thermo Scientific™ Triton XT™ TIMS is the pinnacle of over two decades of continuous development, combining outstanding technologies such as:

• 10¹³Ω Amplifier Technology: extending the lower limits of the ultimate detector
• Retarding Potential Quadrupole Lenses (RPQ): for the highest abundance sensitivity allowing high precision of extreme isotope ratios
• Multi-ion counting (MIC) packages: dedicated for specific nuclear and geochronology applications
• Stable and linear SEM and then CDD ion counters: for the smallest sample amounts and lowest abundance isotopes
• High-performance Faraday cups: to guarantee uniform response and long lifetime
• High stability thermal ionization source: characterized by a very small kinetic energy spread of the ions and optimized for maximum ion transmission for both single and double filament techniques
• Reliable moveable collector array: brings up to 9 Faraday cups into precise alignment with ion beams of different dispersions. With a mass range to cover static Li measurements, that is extendable to cover static Ca
• Virtual amplifier: allows cancellation of gain factor uncertainties through amplifier rotation, so that low ppm external reproducibility can be achieved using efficient static measurements
