Original Abstract Submitted

A mass spectrometer system for a mass spectrometer is provided. The mass spectrometer system includes a bellows system including a bellows configured to contain a gas and have an internal pressure within the bellows, and a housing configured to surround the bellows. The mass spectrometer system also includes a control system coupled to the bellows system. The control system includes a controller configured to continuously maintain the internal pressure of the bellows at a constant pressure within the bellows and cause, based on the continuous maintaining, delivery of the gas at the constant pressure from the bellows to the mass spectrometer. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
