Do You Need Mass Spectrometer Battery Backup Power?

A Mass spectrometer represents one of the most powerful tools a medical facility can possess, while simultaneously being one if it most sensitive as well.

Because of this sensitivity, they are highly vulnerable to damage caused by sudden changes in power. This can ultimately lead to extraordinarily high costs for repair or replacement. As such, backup power is a crucial investment to make in order to protect any lab or healthcare facility.

The most common issues you are likely to face when it comes to the supply in your facility are power outages and surges. A backup power system for a mass spectrometer protects your equipment from power loss by:

• Providing an instant and seamless transition to backup power during an outage.
• Protecting the equipment and reducing wear by providing a clean power

How Does a Mass Spectrometer Backup Power System Protect Your Equipment?

Protection Against Power Losses and Surges

Both Power loss and Power surge present a risk for your mass spectrometer. The most immediate and potentially largest problem is the loss of data—and potentially the loss of the actual test subject itself. While this presents only a minor inconvenience for the end-user if they have to re-run a test, this can potentially cause much larger issues if samples are ultimately lost. Being unable to re-test these can result in:

• The facility being put behind schedule
• Loss of trust from the customer/vendor/patient
• Decrease or lost revenue
• Increased Labor Costs
  
  

Additionally, power surges can overload and damage expensive electrical components on your system. This can result in unexpected and substantial extra costs when  replacing them, as support contracts and/or warranties will not cover damage caused by surges.

A quality backup power system ensures that, should an outage occur, power is instantly supplied, preventing equipment from sudden shut down. This enables staff to save work and complete the proper shut-down sequence. Ultimately, this method is nearly guaranteed to protect the equipment's electrical components.

Surge Protection

An efficient uninterruptible power supply will ensure that your mass spectrometer has a reliable source of clean power—power that is free of sudden spikes or dips in its overall sine wave.

Equipment that receives unclean power typically suffers from faster component degradation and faces higher risk of total burnout. This is commonly found in facilities located a long way from the plant that produces their power, places where brownouts are common, and densely populated areas where the sheer number of electrical equipment in use generates "noise" in the electrical current.
