Thermo Scientific Direct Probe Controller
The Direct Probe Controller (DPC) is used to communicate information from a sample probe (DIP or DEP) to the mass spectrometer. The DPC also allows you to enter heating and data acquisition parameters to the mass spectrometer. Direct probe systems allow rapid sample screening for any application that do not require a gas chromatograph (GC) column separation. Another advantage to using a DIP or a DEP is to have a wide range of samples to volatilize directly into the ion source.
