The Mini Nitrogen Laser MNL X00 is characterized by its long service life, low energy drop and high temporal precision. This is achieved by the following patented innovations:

  • Sealed laser tube in metal-ceramic technology
  • Direct switching semiconductor power switch

Up to 400 million laser pulses or maintenance-free operation for up to 4 years are guaranteed. An integrated laser controller enables extensive presettings and simple adaptation to different applications. The firmware offers the option of setting and controlling the laser functions and parameters via a PC interface. All trigger inputs and outputs are monitored by the trigger management system. The laser is supplied with an extra-low voltage of 24 V DC and is air-cooled. The scope of delivery includes a wide-range power supply unit (90 – 260 V, 50 – 60 Hz).

The MNL X00 is largely compatible with lasers of this class on the market and has the necessary certifications for all international markets: CE, ETL Report No. 05KFI005386 (UL, CSA, VDE, Semco), ROHS, FDA. Adaptation kits for installation in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers or LIF systems from various manufacturers are available from LTB on request.
