Dear Brian I may be interested in your mass spec. I am trying to set up a lab under considerable fiscal constraints! Can you give me a few more details so I could find out about shipping costs to NZ. What are its dimensions, weight? Also, does this offer include the pumping system? regards Russell Frew > Isotopists > > Is anybody out there interested in acquiring an old Nuclide 6-60 > mass spectrometer?
