Permanent Gas Analysis””, J. Am. Soc. Mass Spec. 13 (2002) 1004. Note: The SRS
RGA100 is compared to several commercial (i.e. Leybold XPR-2 and Ferran
Micropole) and research mass specs and found to be the best match for the analysis
of cryogenic fuels around the Space Shuttle. This paper demonstrates the excellent
accuracy, reproducibility and detectability of gas analysis systems based on
SRS
RGAs .

SRS RGA is used as the standard
to check the ion trap results.
