Compact-Time-of-Flight Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ccTOF-ACSM)

The compact-Time-of-Flight Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ccTOF-ACSM) is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer version of the ACSM.  This instrument has an application where small instrument size is important (as with the ACSM) but faster time resolution and higher sensitivity are required, such as when operating from an aircraft platform.  The ccTOF is a cost-effective compact ToF mass spectrometer designed by Tofwerk.
