- Zoom Optics allow different species from mass 2 to 100 to be monitored, with exact coincidence
- High efficiency, narrow entrance, deep Faraday collectors
- Simultaneous collection from two to six Faraday collectors
- State-of-the-Art electronics with full self-diagnostics
- New comprehensive and Easy-to-Use Windows® based control software
- Small footprint, compact design, easily serviced
The impressive Nu Horizon features continue in the sample inlet systems. The Dual Inlet system on the Nu Horizon boasts:
- Separate frame mounting for easy access, with changeover valve inside the main enclosure
- Ultra-low volume Micro-Inlet Block, optimised for high gas conductance
- All valves Normally Closed to maintain gas integrity in event of power failure
- Simple interfacing to automated preparation systems or standard manifold
- Modern designs optimised for low consumables requirement
The Continuous Flow inlet system posseses several important features:
- Reference gas injector units are contained within the instrument enclosure
- Electronic adjustment of the reference gas signals with automatic pressure monitoring
- All effluent gases are safely exhausted
- Simple interfacing to Elemental Analyser/GC Combustion systems via automatic isolation valve
