The MAB ion source presents all the advantages needed for mass spectrometry. The main feature of this source is its capability to ionize the sample with variable and quantized energy (in the range of 8-20 eV). Hence, fragmentation can be controlled and selective ionization is possible. This source generates a low background and is highly reproducible.

Mass Spectrometers are used to analyze and identify molecules, by determining the mass of the elements that composed them.

This is done when the molecule is converted to an ion using an ion source.

Our patented Technology, the Metastable Atom Bombardment (“MAB”) ion source is used in the manufacture of our Mass Spectrometers.

Our Mass Spectrometers can combine Electronic Impact (“EI”), Metastable Atom Bombardment (“MAB”) with a Time of Flight (“TOF”) EI-MAB-TOF, or a Quadrupole (“Q”) EI-MAB-Q.

This proprietary combination is essential for the Dual detection of Chemical and/Biological agents and warfare Agents.

Equipment:

Compact, transportable, robust equipment is at the site. Now the lab is brought to the event.

With TRAKER™ taking the sample to the laboratory, and related delays, will become history. Fast response time, minutes, instead of hours and days before a reliable result is produced.

Design to detect Biological and Chemical in one equipment with high accuracy.

Generating higher sensitivity in detection and High Resolution - to broaden detection capabilities.

Three TRAKER™ models are especially designed for the BioDefence Market, the Military and Civil security:

Detection of Biological Agents	Detection of Chemical Agents
Detection of Biological and Chemical Agents

The spectrum of Mass Detection is from 1 to 1000 uma and upgradable.

These equipments can analyse gaz, liquid and solid agents and are transportable, rendering field detection much easier and efficient.
