Long-lifeTM
Microchannel Plates
|
 |
Long-Life™ Microchannel Plates offer the highest L/D ratio available
to deliver superior performance in gain for a variety of detector
applications.
Their sustained output is up to ten times greater
compared to conventional MCPs. Importantly, Long-Life™ MCPs are
rugged and durable offering stable gain and outstanding bias current
stability resulting in extended operation, decreased downtime and
lower costs.
Microchannel Plates (MCPs) are fabricated from our proprietary
Long-Life™ glass formulation. All MCPs are available with an
Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) option which provides a linear output
range that is up to 40 times that of a standard MCP.

ELECTROGEN™ Electron Generator Arrays (EGAs) |
 |
EGAs can be used as the electron source in electron impact
ionization sources. This technology has the advantage of performing
as a cold ionization source. Eliminating pyrolytic effects that
occur when the heat generated by the filament chemically changes the
unknown substances to be identified.
BURLE’s patented ELECTROGEN™ Electron Generator Arrays (EGAs)
consist of millions of precision glass tubes fused together to
produce a uniform and mechanically rigid structure.
They
are processed such that, when a voltage is applied across the
thickness, each pore produces a beam of electrons. With each of the
millions of pores producing electrons, the resultant electron flux
is extremely uniform and dense.

Advanced Performance Detectors
(APD) |
 |
BURLE’s Advanced Performance Detectors provide significant increases
in performance over alternative detectors: greater sensitivity,
higher gain, and longer life. The Detection Quantum Efficiency of
Burle detectors provide maximum sensitivity to enable detection of
very low levels of photons, electrons, or ions.
The sensitivity of BURLE’s detectors enables an analytical
instrument to identify elements and determine the composition and
structure of complex molecules to the sub-parts-per-trillion level.
Our new mass spec (MS) detectors offer previously unobtainable
levels of sensitivity, dynamic range and stability.

Time-of-Flight
Detectors (TOF)
|
|
 |
BURLE offers the widest variety of Time-of-Flight Detectors
available. Whether it’s our BiPolar or High Performance
Time-of-Flight detectors, you’ll know you have today’s most advanced
TOF detector technology.
These patented Time-of-Flight Detectors
offer previously unobtainable levels of temporal resolution, dynamic
range, and high mass detection sensitivity for Time-of-Flight Mass
Spectrometry. BURLE's unique 2-Micron pore Microchannel plates
provide the highest channel density of any MCP providing gains in
excess of 5x106.
BURLE detectors are designed with cartridges which contain a
Chevron™ set of two Long-Life™ small pore Extended Dynamic Range
MCPs, and a high transmission grid mounted in a rugged module. If
necessary, this module can be purchased separately, allowing quick
and easy MCP replacement.
