Introducing PETREL
Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

Versatile

Precise

Convenient

PETREL Bay Instruments quadrupole mass spectrometer is designed for versatility in gas analysis using membrane inlet and other gas inlet devices. Our novel design offers one click pump-down of inlets during start-up or change-overs. Filament damage and vacuum losses are prevented using software and hardware that monitors the inlet. A quick-connect fitting that adapts to multiple devices allows easy change-over of inlets, including our high precision membrane, membrane cuvette and capillary gas inlet.
