The Micropole is a compact residual gas analyzer with a patented design featuring a number of quadruple mass filters. This array of filters offers equal or greater sensitivity than a conventional mass spectrometer, except that it is a fraction of the size. The micropole system is designed to operate at considerably higher pressures than traditional systems, therefore decreasing the need for additional differential pumping supplies.
Direct interchangeability of sensors is enabled, thanks to the design, which includes factory pre-tuning and calibration against transfer standards. With the 3.5 LCD monitor controller, data can be taken without the use of a PC. With the use of Ethernet technology or RS-485, up to eight micropole systems can be controlled and networked together.
