5977B Series MSD Version
The 5977B Series MSDs are equipped with a turbomolecular (turbo) pump and a
choice of three foreline pumps (Pfeiffer Duo, Pfeiffer MVP-070-3x, Agilent IDP-3
24V) or a diffusion pump paired with a Pfeiffer Duo foreline pump. There are
three types of electron ionization (EI) sources available on the 5977B Series MSD,
a standard EI stainless steel (SS) source, an EI Extractor (XTR) source available
on the Inert+ MSD model, and a high efficiency source (HES). The optional 5977B
chemical ionization (CI) system includes a positive chemical ionization/negative
chemical ionization (PCI/NCI) ion source, reagent gas flow control system, CI
calibration system, and other required hardware features. The serial number
label displays a product number that indicates what type of MSD you have. (See
Table 1.)
