Advanced mass spectrometry power supplies to enable faster, high resolution molecular analysis

XP Power announces the release of its application-specific Mass Spectrometry power supplies, the MS Source and MS Detector power platforms. The launch of these power supplies responds directly to the increasing need for high resolution, high throughput molecular analysis driven by the expansion of clinical diagnostics, such as newborn screening and oncology, rapid growth in biotech R&D, including drug discovery and genomics for precision medicine, as well as rising regulatory requirements.

As mass spectrometry instruments have evolved, users are increasingly demanding highly repeatable results over extended 16-hour back-to-back work shifts, and higher throughputs. In addition, run-to-run and instrument-to-instrument consistency is now expected across different labs, operators, and deployments not just within a single optimised system. Offering proven design expertise that only a handful of companies globally possess, XP Power’s Mass Spectrometry power supplies provides manufacturers with form factor flexibility and a highly resilient supply chain.

Both the MS Source and MS Detector series share a robust set of core features designed to simplify integration and guarantee reliable performance. Operating from a standard +24VDC input, both compact, chassis-mount modules offer reversible high voltage outputs. They offer a standard polarity switching time of 25ms, with an optional ultra-fast 5ms version available. The modules also guarantee a low ripple of 0.01%, stability of 100ppm/hr, and a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance over extended shift patterns.
