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.  

ISAA Configs. 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.
