BURLE offers the widest variety of Time-of-Flight Detectors available. Whether it’s our BiPolar or High Performance Time-of-Flight detectors, you’ll know you have today’s most advanced TOF detector technology. These patented Time-of-Flight Detectors offer previously unobtainable levels of temporal resolution, dynamic range, and high mass detection sensitivity for Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. BURLE's unique 2-Micron pore Microchannel plates provide the highest channel density of any MCP providing gains in excess of 5x10⁶.

BURLE detectors are designed with cartridges which contain a Chevron™ set of two Long-Life™ small pore Extended Dynamic Range MCPs, and a high transmission grid mounted in a rugged module. If necessary, this module can be purchased separately, allowing quick and easy MCP replacement.
