The Ardara Technologies Quadrupole Power Supply was designed to provide an easy-to-install self-oscillating RF power supply for powering quadrupole mass spectrometers.

  • Frequency range of 100 kHz to 4 MHz.  
  • Compatible with a wide variety of capacitive loads.
    • 20 pF to 500 pF standard configuration.
    • Extendable configuration allow for loads over 5,000 pF.
  • Self-oscillating design allows the power supply to self-resonate on a variety of loads, without user intervention, therefore there is no tuning procedure.
  • Front panel potentiometers control voltages for:
    • Resolving RF (m/z)
    • Pole Bias Offset
    • Low Mass Resolution
    • High Mass Resolution.  
  • Male DB-9 connector on the back panel provides external commands for the Mass Command, Low Mass Resolution Command, and Pole Bias Offset Command.
  • Vacuum Interlock input, disables RF voltages output under conditions where the vacuum pressure is too high for safe operation.
  • Dimensions:  19-inch rack mount front panel.
  • Universal AC input (100-240VAC, 50-60 Hz)
