New Products!

GAA Custom Engineering, LLC has developed a line of products supporting instrument development research in the mass spectrometer area. These products aim to provide monitoring and detection capabilities as well as specialized power sources designed to provide RF and DC waveforms needed to control mass spectrometer based instruments.

The products listed are available for purchase with lead times generally under 4 weeks. Please contact us if you have specialized needs. Your requirements may result in a product we are interested in producing and selling.

Ion current detection system, $195

This is a low cost sensitive current detector suitable for detecting both DC and pulsed ion currents. This device uses an electrometer opamp allowing small size and low cost.

    •  Sensitivity of one volt per nano amp
    • Adjustable gain
    • Adjustable bandwidth
    • Detector offset adjustment of +- 10 volts
    • BNC input and out connectors
    • Minimal magnetic material in detection head, can be placed is high magnetic field to support FTICR application.

FTICR preamp, $295

This is a low cost FTICR preamp designed to detect ion image current. This is a differential amplifier with a single ended output capable of driving high speed digitizers.

Plainer ion manipulation electrode systems

We are designing and marketing a number of ion manipulation electrode systems supporting the research community. These systems are built using conventional PC board manufacturing capability. We have several designs in progress so please call or email to get more information and discuss your specific needs

Planer moving wave, $995

This is a set of four PC boards that can be used to confine and manipulate ions. Two of these boards are placed in parallel (one over the next with the electrodes facing each other) and placed into a vacuum system. Ions can then be injected between the boards and with the proper application of RF and DC voltages these ions can be moved down the length of the device.

    •  Four 12” x 3” boards allowing two 12” systems to be assembled
    • All exposed electrode gold plated
    • 0.062” board thickness
    • FR4 board material
    • All electrode spacing 0.005”

Planer moving wave experimenters kit, $1895

This is a set of four PC boards that can be used to confine and manipulate ions. Two of these boards are placed in parallel (one over the next with the electrodes facing each other) and placed into a vacuum system. Ions can then be injected between the boards and with the proper application of RF and DC voltages these ions can be moved down the length of the device. This experimenters kit contains four different ion lanes using different electrode configurations. One of the lanes contains a "zig-zag" arrangement allowing control of the ion path.

    • Four 12” x 4” boards allowing two 12” systems to be assembled
    • All exposed electrode gold plated
    • 0.062” board thickness
    • FR4 board material
    • All electrode spacing 0.005” 

Planer moving wave long path length kit, $2980

This is a set of PC boards that contain a long serpentine path of moving wave electrodes. The total path length is over 28 meters. Two boards are placed in parallel (one over the next with the electrodes facing each other) and placed into a vacuum system. Ions can then be injected between the boards and with the proper application of RF and DC voltages these ions can be moved down the length of the device. This kit includes 3 pair of PC boards, 3 top and 3 bottom boards. 

    • Six 18.13” x 12.8” boards allowing three systems to be assembled
    • All exposed electrodes gold plated
    • 0.062” board thickness
    • FR4 board material
    • All electrode spacing 0.005”

Second Generation Planer moving wave long path length short kit, $1795

This is a set of PC boards that contain a long serpentine path of moving wave electrodes. The total path length is over 28 meters. Two boards are placed in parallel (one over the next with the electrodes facing each other) and placed into a vacuum system. Ions can then be injected between the boards and with the proper application of RF and DC voltages these ions can be moved down the length of the device. This kit includes 2 pair of PC boards, 2 top and 2 bottom boards. 

    • Four 18.09” x 12.8” boards allowing two systems to be assembled
    • All exposed electrodes gold plated
    • 0.062” board thickness
    • FR4 board material
    • All electrode spacing 0.005”
    • Improved ion inlet and outlet position for easier interface to mass spectrometer
