Hi Nabil

You can replace the Al ring with a supported Viton O-ring from:

A&N Corporation Headquarters

Toll Free 800-352-6431

Part # LF100-400-SR-V

This retrofits all instruments that have 100 size Al rings (Plus XL, XP etc).  You can also replace the Al ring for the Penning gauge with a simple NW-25 Viton vacuum pump ring with support. The idea for the 100 Viton ring came from the group at Isotech Laboratories, Inc. in Illinois.

Objet : [ISOGEOCHEM] Delta+XP Ion Source Al seal and 253 lamp wire

Dear all,

Does any of the Delta Plus XP users know of an alternative (and cheaper) source for the Ion Source Aluminum edge seal (Thermo part# 0569110) and what would that part # be?

Also, any alternative vendor for the 253 Lamp wire? Thermo pricing is an outrageous $555.0 for a piece of metal wire and couple connectors  (Thermo Part#  1147320 )

Thanks,
