Bruker API 1600 Mass Spectrometer Interface Control Unit

The Bruker API 1600 ESI/APCI Control Unit is a voltage and gas controller designed for multi-source mass spectrometry systems, specifically managing Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) processes. This control unit is crucial for ensuring stable and reliable ionization, which is fundamental for accurate analyte detection and quantification in mass spectrometry applications. It features a large display, a source lens current indicator, and easy-to-use control knobs. The device is compatible with Bruker mass spectrometry systems and plays a vital role in optimizing ionization parameters for a wide range of analytes, from polar to less polar compounds.

### Technical Specifications

* **Functionality:** Controls voltage and gas for ESI and APCI ionization sources.
* **Ionization Compatibility:** Supports Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI).
* **ESI:** Suitable for a wide range of polar molecules.
