Prima BT Bench Top Process Mass Spectrometer
Fast and precise gas analysis solution
The Thermo Scientific™ Prima BT Bench Top Process Mass Spectrometer is a powerful industrial laboratory gas analyser designed to provide real-time process gas analysis in a process development laboratory environment. This high-precision, multi-port magnetic sector analyser offers robust performance even in the presence of off-gases and vapours that have the potential to contaminate internal vacuum components.
One of the primary features of the Prima BT mass spectrometer is its scanning magnetic-sector technology, which provides high analytical precision, accuracy, and stability. The laminated magnet and flat-topped peak profile enable high scanning speeds, making it an ideal choice for laboratories that require continuous operation and accurate gas composition measurements.
Another key feature of the Prima BT is its 16-port Rapid Multistream Sampler (RMS), which allows for the selection of 1 to 16 streams and sets new standards for speed and reliability of multi-stream sampling and maintenance intervals. Stream settling times are application dependent and user-configurable, providing flexibility in use.
The Prima BT also includes a six-port automatic calibration manifold, which simplifies the calibration process and ensures consistent, reproducible measurements.
The Prima BT is highly versatile, with available inlet system options including stepper motor-controlled Rapid Multi-stream Sampling (RMS), single point solenoid inlet, and single point continuous inlet. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for laboratories with diverse gas analysis needs.
