Core Applications
Mass spectrometry determines molecular weight and composition by ionizing sample molecules, then separating them based on mass-to-charge ratio. The resulting mass spectrum reveals component identity and quantity.
Parker’s fluidic components (valves, pressure controllers, fittings) regulate process gas flow in mass spectrometry systems. For instance, Parker's miniature electronic pressure controller ensures precise flow control in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), vital in proteomics and metabolomics research. Valves and fittings optimize sample handling, reducing contamination and loss.
Our robust fluidic components withstand harsh conditions (high temperatures, vacuum, corrosive chemicals), enhancing mass spectrometry systems' reliability and performance, enabling researchers to glean more sample information.
Laboratory Mass Spectrometer
A laboratory mass spectrometer is used in laboratory settings for analytical and research purposes. These instruments are designed to be highly sensitive and accurate, detecting and quantifying a wide range of compounds and molecules.
Parker’s Precision Fluidics Division designed electronic pressure controllers and valves that deliver the exacting precision required in the most sensitive mass spectrometry instruments and GC systems. These high-quality components enhance system performance and reliability, ensuring accurate and consistent pressure crucial for reliable and reproducible GC analysis. Parker's expertise in fluidic control and system design enables tailored solutions to meet individual customer needs and application requirements.
Industrial Mass Spectrometer
An industrial mass spectrometer is used in industrial settings, such as chemical plants and refineries. These instruments are typically used for process control, quality assurance, and environmental monitoring applications. Industrial mass spectrometers are designed to be rugged, reliable, and easy to use, with features such as automated calibration and self-cleaning. They are often integrated into larger process control systems, where they can provide real-time monitoring and analysis of gas and liquid streams.
Parker's dedication to miniaturization, efficiency, and reliability ensures that our valve and electronic pressure control solutions excel in meeting the most rigorous application demands.
