A ll types of filaments and trapsfor the AEI/Kratos instru-ments can be repaired as
described in this catalog. The ceramicparts of filaments such as the MS80 arethoroughly cleaned by sandblasting toremove all carbon residues and thenrepaired with high purity rhenium wire.In addition, S.I.S.™ manufactures newfilaments and traps for the MS80 instru-ment as described in subsequentpages.

OTHER FILAMENT REPAIRS In addition to the filaments described on the previous pages, S.I.S.™ can repair filaments for many other mass spectrometers. If your
filament is not listed here, give us a call and we will discuss its repair.
Filaments for the x-ray generators manufactured by Rigaku, Siemens and Elliot can be repaired by Scientific InstrumentServices™. These instruments, which are used in crystallography, utilize coiled tungsten filaments. S.I.S.™ can repair these fila-ments at a large savings over the cost of replacement filaments from the manufacturer. The repaired filaments have demon-
strated performances at least equal to the original filaments supplied by the manufacturers. Various shapes and sizes of coils are avail-able, a few of which are shown on the heater coil page.

tips. These new probe tips are similar in construction to the orig-inal FAB tips but with a slightly larger and stronger ceramic base.This results in a much more durable probe tip.
Three styles are available: the slanted design used on themajority of instruments (VG-FAB), the new straight design, (VG-FB2), and the dual design (VG-FB3) used on some of the newerinstruments.
S.I.S. has redesigned the DCI Probe Tip for VG TRIO 1000and 2000 instruments. The new design incorporates a VespelDCI Probe Tip Base which plugs into the tip of your existingprobe. Then the replaceable Probe Tip Filaments are pluggedinto this new Vespel Probe Tip Base. Once the Vespel Probe TipBase is purchased, the cost of repairing or replacing the probefilaments is much less than those available from the manufactur-er. This new DCI probe tip was designed for and tested by sev-eral of our customers. The DCI filaments performed the same asthose originally used but the replacement cost is much less.
* Custom styles available on special request. Other coil sizes and shapes available on request.

Scientific Instrument Services™ manufactures the filaments for the Agilent Technologies MSD seriesmass spectrometer (Agilent Models 5992, 5992A,
5992B, 5993, 5993B, 5995, 5970, 5970A, etc.)* These fil-aments are exact retrofits for the original AgilentTechnologies filaments (#05990-60084). Strict quality con-trol is adhered to when manufacturing these filaments.Distance between filament posts is accurate to within0.001". Each rhenium wire filament is accurately tensionedand aligned on an Agilent source block. The filament wireis accurately positioned over the ion source slit to assureoptimum performance.
Agilent Technologies 5989 Filaments S.I.S. manufactures the strap or band style filaments for the Agilent Technologies 5989
and other 5980 series mass spectrometers (Agilent #05985-60179). The rhenium filament wire is accurately positioned, tensioned, and spot welded to the metal strap. Themetal strap contains the pre-punched holes for easy installation.
Agilent Technologies Wire Filaments and Support Wires
S.I.S. manufactures both the rhenium filament wires with looped ends (Agilent #05980-60089) and the tungsten support wires on hooks (Agilent #05980-20396)for the Agilent Technologies 5980 series mass spectrometers.

The plug-in style filaments for the Thermo and Varian Ion Trap instruments are available from S.I.S.™ These are direct replace-ments for those supplied by Thermo, Varian, Perkin-Elmer, Teledyne and Hitachi. S.I.S. also repairs these filaments as well asthe original filaments which were mounted on a flange.
The Thermo SSQ™/TSQ™, 70 and 700, 4500 FilamentsThis new design incorporates stronger, round filament posts, which do not bend, instead of the straps used by Thermo.
Bending would cause the filament to sag, lose sensitivity, and short out against the shield. In addition, we have lowered the shield approx-imately 0.25 mm. This also delays a sagging filament from shorting out. (Thermo #40005-60140)
When “Thermo” is indicated, it is intended to imply “Thermo Fisher Scientific Corp.”
New Mass Spec FilamentsA24
The metal filament shown on the right is a filament similar to the original Thermo filament for those users who prefer this style filament. However, sev-eral design improvements have been made for better performance. The filament
shield is constructed from a heavier gauge stainless steel material and is much stronger. Thefilament posts have been shortened and are constructed of a heavier gauge metal to help elim-inate filament sagging.
Ceramic Body Filament for Thermo 3000 and 3200 Series MassSpectrometer
These ceramic body filaments were designed to eliminate many of the problems associated with the Thermo metal type filaments. Our new design is strong and durable. The short metal posts hold the filament wire straight, while tension is maintained to minimizing sagging. The ceramic body eliminates shorting of the filament to the source. The filaments come complete with silver wire leadsand stainless steel mounting screws. Connections to instrument lead wires can be made with the connector listed below (requires two connectors).

The posts protrude out of the middle of the filament. There is no metal in the back to short against the magnet. Also, there is no metalon the ends, which insulates the filament from shorting out in these areas as well. The 0.032" diameter leads can be cut to the desiredlength, depending on the configuration of your instrument.
These filaments can be connected to your leads with two push-on connectors (SlS Part# B11288-2) or stainless steel connectors (SISPart #SCI)
