Thanks mercaptan. I checked those out but I think that this particular instrument has gone the way of the dinosaurs. The sad thing is that the mass spec works just fine, but the software is configured incorrectly. It would be unfortunate to have to drop a few thousand because of this. Thanks...

Thanks for the ideas. I have searched and found one on ebay, but it says it is broken and doesn't come with disks. I am looking for old equipment sites right now. Thermo scientific bought them out a long time ago and when I called they said they had never heard of it!

What is the potential applied across the tungsten and the plasma? Also, what is the flow rate of the two gasses? I work with ICPMS and have experience dealing with argon plasma ionization, but ours is at 1500W (~10,000 K) and potentials of 5 - 10V. The hydrogen and oxygen should ionize instantly...

By definition: Photocurrent is the electric current through a photosensitive device, such as a photodiode, as the result of exposure to radiant power. Therefore, if there is no radiation on the cell, then no photocurrent will be produced. If you apply a potential across the cell, you will see...

I work at a university and we recently had an XPS donated with a mass spec attachment. It is an older instrument that we would love to get working due to the high resolution detector and in situ reduction chamber. We are having issues getting the mass spec to communicate with the gassworks...
