This range of high performance high voltage power supplies has been specifically designed for mass spectrometer multi-stage detector applications requiring a fast polarity switching conversion dynode and fast settling electron multiplier output. The DC series complements our range of fast polarity switching source (SC series) power supplies and the use of Dynamic Control TM technology within the output stages ensures fast and accurate settling after polarity change with minimal overshoot. For custom / volume applications please contact us for details.
