Sicrit®
Sicrit®
Soft Ionisation by Chemical Reaction in Transfer (SICRIT®), a new source from Plasmion GmbH. We are the UK distributors for this versatile soft ionsiation ambient source.
It does not require helium as a carrier gas and can be coupled to a variety of existing laboratory instruments such as GC, SPME, TGA and CE to name a few. The soft ionisation produces very simple spectra even from complex mixtures. The conventional ESI source on your LC-MS is exchanged in minutes with the SICRIT® source.
