HALO™ H2
TIGER OPTICS™ CRDS Analyzer for ppb-level Hydrogen Detection
Description
CRDS LASER-BASED ANALYZER
LEADING CHOICE FOR ULTRA-HIGH PURITY GAS USERS
Detect gas quality upsets before they damage your process. Using our TIGER OPTICS™ HALO™ H2 analyzer, you can verify H2 impurity levels with part-per-billion accuracy, drift-free stability and instantaneous response. You will find our system exceptionally easy and fast to install, and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification. Its robust design—free of moving parts—results in an analyzer that has a high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate and a very low Cost of Ownership (CoO).With its patented catalytic conversion technique, utilizing a minute amount of oxygen to cleanly and safely convert hydrogen to moisture, the HALO H2 hydrogen analyzer offers a fully laser-based solution for continuous quality control of your process.
THE HALO H2 HYDROGEN ANALYZER OFFERS:
- Low parts-per-billion (ppb) detection capability with Standard Model
- NEW: Low-Range Model with parts-per-trillion (ppt) detection limits in inert gases
- Extremely fast speed of response
- Wide dynamic range
- Absolute measurement (freedom from need for calibration gases)
- Low maintenance and cost of ownership
- Compact, portable package, ideal for both fixed and mobile cart installation
- Direct measurement in many matrices, including oxygen
