New health, safety and security regulations strongly limit the use of radioactive sources ( 85Kr, 63Ni, 241Am, 210Po) for particle or volatile charging. Therefore, there is a need for non-radioactive sources, which can be transported and used freely. In RAMEM we have undertaken and R&D effort to develop such sources. The results is a complete line of equipment to achieve charging without the use of radioactive sources:
|
| |
| Device for the generation of ions and charged nanoparticles from a liquid phase sample |
 |
| ·High versatility: aerosol can be generated horizontally or vertically (downwards or upwards). |
| ·User friendly: easy maintenance and exchange of tubings, capillaries and needles. |
| ·Visual monitoring of Taylor’s cone. |
| ·Two LEDs for a better visualization of the jet and the spray. |
| ·Image and video capture. |
| ·Split in two modules (control unit and electrospray unit) for increased flexibility. |
| ·Automatic pressure control. |
| ·Available needle inner diameter: 60, 90 & 130 microns. |
|
| |
 |
·Nanoparticle production
|
| ·Fundamental electrospray research. |
| ·DMA calibration. |
| ·Source of biomolecules (DNA, proteins) for Mas Spectrometers. |
