What are the advantages of the membrane inlet system?
A MIMS system provides: • Simple and rugged performance (perfect for on-site applications) • Long-term operation with the same membrane for many months • Immunity to dust and other particles • Detection limits of a few ppb without sample pre-treatment • Measurements where ‘matrix effects’ are small • A clean environment for the ion source (no fouling of the source) • Short response times with low memory effects • Linear dynamic range of several orders of magnitude with good quantitative accuracy.
