Process Mass Spectrometers » Multiple Gas Analyzer 1200EC » Technology
The MGA 1200EC is a fixed magnetic sector mass spectrometer. Because the MGA 1200EC utilizes a fixed "collector" for each species of gas it measures, it provides a continuous compositional analysis of a 10 gas stream with updates in under 1 second. This is key for applications that require a "time is of the essence" criticality. Because of this speed, one MGA can be used to measure multiple process streams in processes that currently use multiple conventional analyzers.
First, an inlet system heats the sample to 120° C to prevent condensation. The sample then passes through a sintered inlet leak that not only regulates the amount of gas to enter the analyzer, but also acts as a final filtering device. The gas sample is then ionized within a dual filament source. The positively charged particles are allowed to enter the analyzer. The ions enter a fixed magnetic field with a fixed acceleration voltage and travel a specified radial path to the appropriate Faraday collector/electrometer combination. The electrometer generates a voltage proportional to the current striking the Faraday cup.
The high vacuum within the MGA 1200 EC is created and maintained by utilizing both a turbomolecular and mechanical rough vacuum pumps. With proper maintenance, these pumps will have a long service life.
The MGA Story
The MGA product family was originally designed manufactured and supported from Hamilton Sundstrand's Pomona, California facility (formerly Perkin-Elmer) since 1975.
In 1996, Hamilton Sundstrand acquired the MGA Trademark and Tradename from Perkin-Elmer and reengineered the MGA 1200 and MGA 1600. More recently, we introduced the new MGA iSCAN, the most advanced process mass spectrometer available.
