BURLE
Announces 40mm Diameter Advanced Performance TOF Detector for
Mass Spec Applications
Sturbridge,
MA – October 24, 2003 – BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc.
announces the development and offering of its new 40mm diameter
Advanced Performance Time-of-Flight Detector. The new patented
detector’s unique small pore 5-micron MCP technology combined
with a larger collection area offers higher performance, improved
mass resolution and fast timing for TOF Mass Spectrometry.
Of special
interest to instrument designers is the detector’s large
format, 650 ps pulse width and 300 ps rise time for previously
unobtainable levels of mass resolution, dynamic range, and detection
sensitivity that is ten time that of conventional MCPs. In addition,
the detector’s flat surface provides uniform ion conversion
while the higher aspect ratio of the MCPs produce gains in excess
of 107.
The new detector is housed in BURLE’s Quick-Fit® replaceable
MCP cartridge to make maintenance fast and easy. Quick-Fit®
cartridges include a set of two Chevron™ Long-Life™
small pore MCPs and a high voltage transmission grid mounted in
a rugged module with an integral 50 Ω impedance matched conical
anode. This module is available separately or mounted on a 6”
conflat flange.
The addition
of BURLE Electro-Optics’ patented 40mm Time-of-Flight Detector
rounds out the largest selection of detectors available in the
world with 17 models in sizes ranging from 8mm to 40mm.
BURLE Electro-Optics,
Inc., headquartered in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, is the world
leader in Time-of-Flight detector technology, offering the highest
temporal resolution detectors for both ADC and TDC based systems.
A pioneer in developing scientific detector products, the company
is recognized as the worldwide leader in electron multiplication
technology for its Channeltron® Mass Spectrometer Detectors,
Long-Life™ Microchannel Plates and Advanced Performance
Detectors.

New
Resistive Glass Products Developed for Analytical Instrument Designers
and Manufacturers
STURBRIDGE,
MA – August 11, 2003 – BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc.
announces the development and offering of patent pending Resistive
Glass products for analytical instrument designers and manufacturers.
BURLE Electro-Optics’ newest capability offers a wide array
of Resistive Glass shapes and sizes including tubes, sheets, washers
as well as custom shapes to fit any requirement at a lower cost.
BURLE Electro-Optics’ precision Resistive Glass products
are manufactured from a proprietary lead silicate glass that has
been doped to produce a resistive surface. Resulting devices can
be custom designed with one or more resistive areas based on the
instrument designer’s specific requirements. Importantly,
resistivity can be varied over three orders of magnitude in order
to optimize current flow and electric field strength.
Typical Resistive Glass product applications include Ion Guides,
Voltage Dividers, Conversion Dynodes, Ion Mirrors, Reflectron
Lenses, Drift Tubes for Ion Mobility Spectrometers and more.
BURLE’s Resistive Glass products are available in both tube
and sheet form, each customizable to a variety of shapes. Electrodes
can be in a variety of materials and configurations. In addition,
mechanical interfaces such as flanges, grids and meshes are available.
BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc. is headquartered in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

New
MCP-Photomultiplier with 64 Anodes Offers Superior Position Sensing
LANCASTER,
PA – January 17, 2003 – BURLE INDUSTRIES, INC. announces
the addition of the 85011 PLANACON™
MCP-PMT to its family of low profile MCP-based photomultipliers.
This 2" square head-on MCP-PMT with integrated voltage divider
network is less than one inch thick and provides 6mm position
resolution when used as a discreet pixel device while offering
a spectral response of 165 to 660 Nanometers.
The 85011
PLANACON™ is based ona revolutionary photomultiplier
tube that utilizes microchannel plates (MCP) for electron multiplication.
Its sixty-four anodes provide a superior 6mm position resolution
with even higher resolutions possible using the charge-sharing
technique with an alternate voltage divider network.
The dual MCP
multiplier yeilds excellent time response, good gain, and extremely
high pulse linearity. Response uniformity over the full 2"
square active area is exceptional, typically 1:1.5. The assembly
comes complete with terminated anode and high voltage cables for
ease of use.
Applications
for the 80511 PLANACON™ include specialized medical imaging,
ring imaging Cherenkov counters, fluorescence microscopy, and
high-speed applications such as LIDAR.
The 85011
PLANACON™ is available immediately by calling 800-366-2875
or 717-295-6888.
For additional
product and ordering information concerning the 85011 PLANACON™

5904
MAGNUM® Electron Multiplier Enhances Performance of
Varian Instruments
Sturbridge,
MA – January 16, 2003 – BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc.
announces the addition of the 5904 MAGNUM® Electron Multiplier
to its extensive line of compact replacement electron multipliers.
The 5904 is designed specifically for Varian Instruments, including
Varian 1200 GC/LC-MS and users of the discontinued Bear Cub 800.
The
rugged 5904 MAGNUM® Electron Multiplier with integral self
biasing anode, offers higher performance, improved linearity over
a wider current range, and lower noise compared to OEM electron
multipliers. Its six channel design provides longer detector life
and low noise < 1pA dark current, high gain analog operation
is minimum 10 million and offers stable operation even at elevated
temperatures up to 200 C.
MAGNUM®
Electron Multipliers utilize BURLE’s exclusive Spiraltron™
technology that provides the highest dynamic range in the industry
while offering increased gain stability and near elimination of
feedback noise. Thanks to BURLE’s proprietary glass formulation,
it also has the longest detector life available in the industry.
