El-Mul’s detection solutions for the Mass Spectrometry industry are creating new opportunities and technology paths.

El-Mul’s patented MTOF™ technology is a platform intended for Time of Flight systems. It brings advantages in signal collection efficiency and particularly in gain stability. Using a detection chain that includes an ion-to-electron convertor, ScintiFast™ as the electron sensor and a fast, sealed light sensor, MTOF systems have a winning combination of sub-nanosecond response, wide dynamic range and by far the longest life time available for detection systems in this field.

OptiMax™ is a design comprising of MCP, ScintiFast and a light sensor such as PMT. OptiMax offers a combination of fast response and stability which can be used in TOF and other mass spectrometers.

For systems which do not require a fast response, other designs are available. Such designs, which can operate with negative ions, positive ions or both, utilize traditional scintillators and PMT to ensure detector stability over extended periods, reducing need for re-calibration and frequent maintenance.
