Astrum Swift Upgrade

The Astrum Swift offers faster analyses for high throughput applications. Swift technology is available as an upgrade for existing Astrum and Astrum ES systems. Lower capacitance Faraday pre-amplifier and acquisition board, redesigned magnet circuit and Astrum CoDaq software

Flat cell Sensitivity Upgrade

The enhanced sensitivity upgrade on Astrum provides the same level of performance seen on typical VG9000 instruments for flat cell operation. This is achieved without compromising the discharge conditions which allow for matrix independent calibration factors to be used. The upgrade also includes the fixed source slit upgrade.

Fixed Source Slit Upgrade

The fixed source slit upgrade provides multiple slits of the same size which can be selected independently as each is eroded by the ion beam. This extends the service time between replacements and therefore improves the operational uptime available for the Astrum.

Atmospheric Liquid Nitrogen Dewar

The atmospheric liquid nitrogen system offers a lower consumption of liquid nitrogen (1.5 lph vs. >3 lph for a pressurized vessel) and reduced cost of ownership as regular safety inspections as not required as with a pressurized vessel.

Astrum CoDaq Software

The latest software and firmware enable improved efficiency with enhanced control features:
Multi-language user interface, in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese
Simple and intuitive user interface 
Automated detector calibration
Temperature controlled cryo-cooling
