Dear all,
We are presently looking for a split mass spectrometer tube that would
allow the simultaneous collection of 3He and 4He. VG-Micromass has been
selling for years the MM3000 then the VG5400 with this option but they
don't want to do it anymore. Since they now have the monopole of
manufacturing and selling noble gas mass spectrometers after having bought
their only competitor, MAP (I wonder if this is really allowed, we the
customers should probably look more carefully at this), they are absolutely
not ready to envision anything but selling the already existing, 17 years
old VG5400 in the basic configuration.
So we are considering any proposal, a complete machine, or just the split
tube, or anything intermediate.
Regards
Bernard
