The application EPC technology by using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles immobilized on zinc (Zn) sheet-copper electrode, and lamp emitting dynode (LED) ultraviolet-A (UV-A) lamp for the treatment of pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were reported (Kashi, 2015).
The 6470 features an ion detector with a high-energy conversion dynode and low nose characteristics, promoting more efficient positive and negative ion detection and mass range; and powerful MassHunter data handling software, including triggered MRM, which helps increase analytical confidence.
The detector consists of an assembly formed by a thallium-activated sodium iodide crystal (NaI(Tl) 2"x2") connected to a photomultiplier, a light guide, a voltage divider, a resistor divider, a dynode, and a preamplifier.
With all the homework and car adjustments that the E&B Crew Chief Brownie Brown did, the car ran numbers 18% higher than the dynode session.
Ion detection was by secondary electron multiplier, the ions hit a conversion dynode and the electrons produced were amplified in an electron multiplier which can operate in either counting or analog mode.
