The Ionplus Pneumatic Sample Press (PSP) is a precision instrument designed to produce clean, consistent, and reproducible AMS graphite targets with minimal operator effort. By using a pneumatic mechanism to press graphite into cathodes at the push of a button, the PSP ensures uniform compaction and a well‑defined graphite position, which in turn improves beam stability and measurement reproducibility. Its back‑pressing design significantly reduces the risk of surface contamination, an essential factor for high‑precision radiocarbon analysis, and its easy‑to‑clean pressing pin streamlines routine operation.
