Pfeiffer Vacuum introduces new HiQuad Neo mass spectrometer

With the new HiQuad Neo mass spectrometer, Pfeiffer Vacuum combines high performance, flexibility and simple operation. It is characterized by high sensitivity and a large dynamic range with a measuring speed of up to 125 μs/u and is suitable for use in research & development and integration into analysis systems.
The HiQuad Neo mass spectrometer achieves a particularly high measuring speed of up to 125 μs/u. It is characterized by very good sensitivity and a large dynamic range. Depending on the application, different mass ranges, rod diameters, ion sources, detectors, interfaces and cable lengths can be selected. These features make the HiQuad Neo particularly suitable for applications in research and development, integration into analysis systems and cleanliness verification for EUV lithography.
devices of the previous generation can be upgraded to the latest technological level of the HiQuad Neo. The use of some existing components, such as the analyzer, is possible. This reduces costs and waste. The mass spectrometer is easy to operate with the help of the PV MassSpec software. It offers a clear and user-friendly platform for recording and displaying measurement data and parameter sets. With the integrated sequencer, complete measurement sequences can be programmed easily and automatically. One click is all it takes to carry out leak detection and vacuum diagnostics. The software also enables automated calibration and tuning. It is easy to define measurement recipes and the mass spectrometric data can be linked to external signals. Alternatively, it is also possible to communicate directly via the Ethernet interface (via OPC-UA). These functionalities offer an efficient and user-friendly solution for a wide range of applications.
