Overview of Aperture
Arrays
Chem-Space has invented and is
currently developing a revolutionary replacement to inefficient
conductance tubes and apertures called Ion Selective Aperture Arrays (ISAA)
for a variety of standard and custom applications.

Benefits |
| 37
Hole Array |
Low
throughput laminated array samples less than 1 Liter/min into vacuum
and samples an entrance cross-section of 600um circular diameter. |
| 61
Hole Array |
Medium
throughput laminated array samples less than 2 Liter/min into vacuum
and samples an entrance cross-section of 800 um circular diameter. |
| 127
Hole Array |
High
throughput laminated array samples less than 4 Liter/min into vacuum
and samples an entrance cross-section of 1.2 mm. |
| Custom Arrays |
Any
entrance pattern can be designed and fabricated to meet custom
applications in terms of matching optics with a specific
conductance pattern and hole diameters and laminate tube length
can be adjusted to meet gas load and sample transmission
requirements.
