GCIB 40

Damage-free analytical beam for SIMS

The GCIB 40 is a 40 kV gas cluster ion beam producing a focused beam of cluster ions for analytical applications where sensitivity to molecular ions is required.

GCIBs are unrivalled in their ability to minimise fragmentation and remove intact molecules from a surface, and now operating at 40 keV delivers excellent ionisation yields too. Featuring selectable cluster sizes from monomer to over 10,000, and a spot size down to 3 µm, the GCIB 40 is a powerful tool for analysing intact molecular ions with high spatial resolution.

Available on the J105 SIMS or as an upgrade to selected third-party instruments. Contact us for more information.
