Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (TIMS)
Tags: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India, Science & Exploration
The Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) is a precision analytical tool used for accurate isotopic ratio measurements, particularly in nuclear industries and geochronology. It features a thermal ionization source, sector magnet, and Faraday collectors, allowing it to analyze elements with masses up to 450 amu with high sensitivity and precision. The instrument is controlled via a PC interface and can process small sample quantities efficiently. Applications include isotopic analysis of nuclear fuel, geochronology, and soil studies in earth sciences.
