The brief

The Centre for Atmospheric Science requires a fast switching bipolar chemical ionisation mass spectrometer to facilitate trace gas analysis on the British Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA) operated by the Faculty for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM).

To allow a wide range of measurements, this instrument must facilitate the operation of multiple reagent ions (up to 6 simultaneously) that can be flexibly interchanged on the aircraft and provide complete measurement cycles at time resolution sufficient to allow useful measurements on the aircraft.

The instrument must be of a sufficiently small size and weight to be certified on this research aircraft.
