In glass manufacturing, the analysis of minute gas inclusions within the glass poses a special kind of challenge. The task here is to extract minute gas volumes with high accuracy and repeatability from glass samples and to analyze these gases and their components.

InProcess Instruments developed the GIA series for this purpose and this series is now known around the world and used by almost all well-known glass producers.

The mass spectrometers in the GIA series can be used for the analysis of minute gas bubbles with volumes of just a few nanoliters. Both concentration and partial pressures of individual components in the gas inclusion volume can be precisely determined.
