GLOW DISCHARGE MASS SPECTROMETER
Nu Instruments introduce the next generation of glow discharge mass spectrometers. The ion source has been purpose designed in collaboration with users to provide the best in performance, reliability and flexibility. The double focusing, high resolution mass spectrometer is based on the successful Nu AttoM HR-ICP-MS for accurate and precise elemental analysis.
No compromise design
The Nu Astrum has been designed to be the gold standard in solids analysis. Continuously variable resolution offers improved flexibility whilst the data handling system is purpose built for high throughput measurements. The durable construction of the instrument and proven source design give maximum uptime with minimal intervention. The Nu Astrum is the true workhorse in solids analysis.
