SK1 Major MS Source Cleaning Kit

The Major kit includes most everything that is needed to clean a mass spectrometer source. The selection of felt polishing tips and fine abrasive polishing com-pound makes it fast and easy to clean contamination in the metal source parts. We have found the Micro Mesh abrasives included in the kit to be an excellent product for cleaning and polishing the metal parts and we use it extensively in our laboratory. The selection of other products listed below aid in clean-ing and handling the small instrument parts.

Kit includes :

  • 1 Dremel Moto-tool kit – 110VAC
  • 2 Micro Mesh Board
  • 1 Polishing compound
  • 500 Cotton Tipped Applicators
  • 5 Felt Polishing Tips

  • 300 Clean Tex Cloths, 9″ x 9″wipes
  • 2 Micro Mesh Abrasive Sheet Kit
  • 1 SIS Source Cleaning Instructions

Included in each of our kits is a copy of the SIS Source Cleaning Instructions. This is a compilation of the procedures used by Scientific Instrument Services for the cleaning of mass spectrometer sources over the last 25 years. This article incorporates the current techniques used at SIS as well as procedures reported in our Mass Spec Handbook of Service (published in 1983 and now out of print), articles published in back issues of the “Mass Spec Source Newsletter” as well as application notes published on the SIS web site (http://www.sisweb.com). These methods have been tested and modified over the years with the availability of new equipment and with the input from many other mass spectrometer users. In addition we have included several alternative techniques for the same operation, when these methods have been recommended by the instrument manufacturers. As a result this article provides for a comprehensive resource of techniques and methods for the cleaning of mass spectrometer sources for most mass spectrometers.
