Application

The universality of the mass spectrometer measurement principle enables the use of this analysis technology in wide-ranging application areas. Online mass spectrometers for gas analysis can be easily configured for wide concentration ranges and time resolutions between milliseconds and minutes. Mass-selective detection also allows both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Examples:

• Catalysis Research
• Process Development
• He-D₂ Analysis
• Coupling with Thermoanalyzers
• Bioreactors
• Element and Isotope Specific Detection
• Tightness Checks / Leak Tests
• Material Properties of Membranes

Products: GAM 2000; GAM 3000; GAM 4000

The quality of ultrapure gases and gas mixtures can be continuously monitored with online gas analysis. It plays no role here whether the gases or gas mixtures are used as consumable or inert gases for production or whether the gas mixture needs to be appropriately certified as a calibration gas for example.
The analysis of waste gases produced by various processes or systems also provides important feedback on process control or the condition of systems.
One-off analysis, spot checks or testing of off-specification batches is also possible with special devices.

Examples:

• Lamp Fill Gas Analysis
• Trace Analysis in Ultrapure Gases
• Analysis of Gas Mixtures
• Air Monitoring

Process Monitoring and Process Control

Online mass spectrometry for the analysis of gaseous process flows enable the simultaneous determination of main and secondary component concentrations. The production process can be more effectively characterized, optimized and controlled by the continuous and rapid monitoring of important material composition parameters. Improved process control leads to higher product quality and system security, as well as savings in both time and energy.

Mass spectrometers from InProcess Instruments can be used for process analysis tasks in various industry branches.

Mass spectrometers are universal analysis devices with high selectivity. The measurement principle enables the determination of numerous components in all types of gas mixtures. The application range for this technology is correspondingly broad. We also develop systems for special applications with the know-how of our technicians, engineers and scientists.

This can include the determination of the gas composition in minute gas bubbles in glass, isotope ratios of stable isotopes in tracer experiments and even automatic determination of gas compositions in halogen lamps.
