IONICON REAL-TIME TRACE GAS ANALYZERS

Ultra-sensitive real-time trace gas analyzers for the measurement of (toxic) trace gases with parts-per trillion (ppt) sensitivity for the use of environmental monitoring, in- and outdoor air quality analysis, safety & compliance analysis in a room or the environment, food testing and breath analysis. 

Proton Transfer Reaction - Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) and proprietary SRI-MS technology have proven high mass resolution and high sensitivity over a broad mass range, allowing fast, sensitive, accurate and extremely robust analysis of hundreds of organic and inorganic compounds. Soft quantitative ionization of VOC traces in the sample conserves the chemical composition of the molecules, which is followed by seperation of ions according to their m/z and real-time detection in a high-resolution TOF mass analyzer.

• PTR-MS does not require pre-separation, such as GC, nor sample preparation
• PTR is a very efficient and soft ionization method leading in high sensitivity and low limit of detection, little to no and adjustable fragmentation
• PTR-TOF instruments analyze in real-time and deliver exact concentrations within sub-seconds
• Liquid Calibration Unit available for easy and low-cost calibration of the system
