Ultra-High Sensitivity with UFMS Technology

Higher Sensitivity with Improved Ion Optics

The UF-Lens is a lens system that offers both higher sensitivity and easier maintenance. The optical system
UF-Lens integrates two multi-pole RF ion guides for higher sensitivity. In addition, the lens system can be removed
without tools for easy cleaning.
