Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry involves the measurement of ion resonance in a stable magnetic field. Cryomagnetics' specialty is optimizing the superconducting magnet system for ICR spectrometers.

As an OEM manufacturer of superconducting magnets for ICR, Cryomagnetics' innovations over the past few years in 4.7T and 7.0T systems has helped redefine ICR research and measurement. Today's customers are concentrating on 7.0T and 9.4T systems.

Cryomagnetics' unique cryostat design allows the system to be shipped cold - even across the world. Setup time for OEM manufacturers is now measured in hours, not days.

While manufacturing a system sturdy enough to be shipped worldwide cold is challenging enough, making it low-loss is even a greater challenge. Cryomagnetics low-loss systems capable of cold-shipping require LHe refills on the order of 60 days. Larger capacity systems are available that can extend the refill time even further. Low-vibration 4.2K pulse tube refrigerators can be incorporated into the system to reduce or stop LHe consumption. Systems are being tested now that are completely cryogen-free. Consult the factory for details.

The majority of systems delivered today are actively-shielded. An actively-shielded superconducting magnet has another superconducting coil that intercepts stray fields generated by the main coils. The 10-gauss line is contained largely within the cryostat itself.

Traditionally shielded systems use passive materials such as iron to reduce stray fields. These systems can weigh 10 tons or more - creating siting problems. The compact Cryomagnetics' actively-shielded 4.7T and 7.0T systems weigh less than 1000 pounds. The actively-shielded 9.4T system weighs approximately 3,300 pounds.

As always, suggestions on siting requirements, specific installation questions, system operation questions, etc. are readily and professionally answered.
