AELAB GC-MS 3200 Gas Chromatograph–Mass Spectrometer (Quadrupole)

The AELAB GC-MS 3200 continues the evolution of the GC-MS product line, building upon the earlier GC-MS 3100 introduced in 2005. With more than a decade of development, customer feedback, and technological enhancement, the GC-MS 3200 offers improved performance, expanded functionality, and greater accessibility. Designed for qualitative and quantitative analysis, the system meets the needs of research, production laboratories, and advanced analytical workflows.

Switching between Electron Ionization (EI) and Chemical Ionization (CI) in the GC-MS 3200 is simple and efficient. The CI source extends analytical capability, particularly for combustible materials or compounds with weak EI responses. For selected pesticide analysis and other low-response matrices, the CI source enhances sensitivity and lowers the detection limit.

⚙️ Design & Construction

The AELAB GC-MS 3200 quadrupole mass spectrometer incorporates an upgraded ion optics system, redesigned magnetic focusing components, and optimized electron beam geometry. The ion source filament control circuit enables constant emission and constant reception modes, improving electron flow stability. The innovative voltage offset system enhances spatial electron distribution, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio by approximately 30%. A high-gain, low-dark-current electron multiplier with a polished parabolic dynode reduces neutral noise and improves high-mass response.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The GC-MS 3200 analyzes samples by separating components through the gas chromatograph before introducing them into the quadrupole mass spectrometer. In EI mode, electrons bombard molecules to generate characteristic fragmentation patterns. In CI mode, ion-molecule reactions provide softer ionization for molecular ion detection and improved sensitivity. Upgraded ion transmission optics and redesigned magnetic field geometry enhance beam focusing, reduce magnetic interference, and improve high-mass accuracy.
