The ultimate stability for when you need it most

You need an ion source that will provide you the flexibility to meet regular and unexpected changes to your workflow. The Turbo V ion source offers the flexibility you need to respond to those changes.

Traditional ESI provides broad compound coverage for most applications, and additional APCI probe is available for low-polarity compounds. Switching between flow rates couldn’t be easier! The Turbo V ion source is compatible with a wide range of flow rates, from low micro to high analytical flow (5 – 3000 µL/min).

Key features
The power	Turbo V source provides high-sensitivity analysis over a wide range of flow rates
Extraordinary robustness in performance	The simplistic source architecture and orthogonal spray design with no complex spray path provides uniform temperature distribution and optimized curtain gas flow to improve robustness and ruggedness
Simple plug and play ion source design	A tool-free source design enables plug and play capability with almost zero maintenance
Versatile flow ranges	Covering flow ranges of 5 uL/min to 3 mL/min
Wide compound class coverage	The ability to quickly interchange ionization modes between APCI and ESI enables wider compound class coverage and easy and faster method development
