Thermo Finnigan Waveform Amplifier Board for LCQ Duo

Thermo Finnigan 96000-61110 Waveform Amplifier Board for LCQ Duo Mass Spectrometry Systems

The Thermo Finnigan 96000-61110 is a critical signal-processing module designed for the LCQ Duo Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer. This board is responsible for generating and amplifying the supplemental "waveform" voltages applied to the end-cap electrodes of the ion trap. These AC waveforms are essential for advanced MS/MS functions, including precursor ion isolation, resonance excitation for fragmentation (CID), and the efficient ejection of ions during the analytical scan. High fidelity in these waveforms is necessary to maintain the mass resolution and structural information quality that defines the LCQ Duo system.

Technical Performance and Design

• Supplemental AC Generation: Manages the complex, multi-frequency waveforms required for WideBand Activation™ and resonance ejection, ensuring precise control over ion kinetics within the trap.

• High-Fidelity Signal Amplification: Engineered to provide low-noise, high-linearity amplification of low-voltage DAC signals into the precise AC voltages required for sensitive MSⁿ experimental protocols.

• Thermal Management: Typically equipped with an integrated heavy-duty heatsink to ensure stable operation and frequency accuracy during long-duration automated LC/MS sequences.

• Subsystem Synchronization: Works in direct coordination with the RF Amplifier and System Control boards to time the application of waveforms within microseconds of the ion trapping cycle.
