SHIMADZU MSE-2601 Compact General-Purpose Dry Helium/Hydrogen Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector

The SHIMADZU MSE-2601 is a compact, transportable, general-purpose mass spectrometer leak detector equipped with a built-in non-contact dry vacuum pump. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from equipment maintenance to integration into inspection systems, and is particularly suitable for clean-room environments. The MSE-2601 supports both helium and hydrogen as tracer gases. Its helium detection sensitivity is less than 8.00 × 10⁻¹³ Pa·m³/s, with a helium leak-rate display range from 10⁻¹³ to 10⁰ Pa·m³/s, making it suitable for quantitative detection of extremely small leaks. It incorporates SHIMADZU's characteristic 270° deflection analysis tube with a magnetic flux density of 0.17 T and two yttria-coated iridium filaments. The 270° ion-path design improves separation of unwanted ions and enables highly accurate leak measurement. The vacuum system combines a molecular drag pump with a non-contact dry vacuum pump. A helium pumping speed of 5.2 L/s at the test port helps improve response and background recovery. Communication interfaces and digital I/O also make the instrument suitable for automated inspection equipment and production-line integration.

Product Details

Product Features

High Detection Sensitivity:
Helium sensitivity of <8.00 × 10⁻¹³ Pa·m³/s enables detection of very small leaks.

Helium and Hydrogen Detection:
Supports both helium and hydrogen tracer gases. 

270° Deflection Analysis Tube:
SHIMADZU's 270° analysis-tube design provides high ion selectivity and precise measurement. 

5.2 L/s Helium Pumping Speed:
High helium pumping speed helps reduce measurement and background-recovery time. 

Built-In Dry Vacuum Pump:
The non-contact dry pump makes the instrument well suited for clean-room applications. 

Compact and Transportable:
With a main-unit mass of approximately 58 kg, the MSE-2601 can be used for both field maintenance and system integration.

Automation Interfaces:
RS-232C, RS-485, EXT-UNIT and configurable I/O facilitate connection to automated inspection systems. 

 

Product Applications
