PTR-MS (Proton Transfer Reaction – Mass Spectrometry) is the benchmark method for simultaneous real-time monitoring of volatile (organic) compounds (VOCs) without sample preparation in very low concentrations.
We're the market-leading PTR-MS company.
IONICON PTR-MS systems are the most sensitive instruments for real-time monitoring of hundreds of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), such as acetone, acetaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, benzene, xylene and many others, including some inorganic compounds, present in air.
Together this allows for trace gas analysis in real-time.
IONICON combines the unique PTR ionization with state-of-the-art Mass Spectrometry (MS): Take advantage of the IONICON-built modular and flexible ioniTOF Time-of-Flight (TOF) MS platform which we use for our renowned PTR-TOFMS product portfolio.
IONICON PTR-MS has become the benchmark method for simultaneous real-time monitoring of VOCs in ambient air with wide range of applications. Over 400 leading scientists, institutions and multinational corporations are among our customers. For more details, watch our webinar "A short introduction to PTR-MS":
