HALO™ H2O in N2O
TIGER OPTICS™ Trace Moisture CRDS Analyzer in Pure Nitrous Oxide
Description
CRDS LASER-BASED ANALYZER
PPB-LEVEL MOISTURE ANALYZER FOR PURE NITROUS OXIDE
Our TIGER OPTICS™ HALO™ H2O in N2O analyzer provides users with the unmatched accuracy, reliability, speed of response and ease of operation. Featuring our powerful Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy-based moisture sensor in a compact and affordable package, this versatile analyzer allows users to measure trace moisture in nitrous oxide (N2O) and other gases.
Users can also expect significant cost savings, with no need for periodic sensor maintenance, span calibrations, purifier replacements, and pump rebuilds. As a result, the HALO H2O in N2O analyzer is ideally suited to many applications where moisture measurement is extremely critical. These applications include process control, continuous quality control, and cylinder analysis for medical and calibration gases and more.
DESIGNED FOR TRACE LEVEL MOISTURE ANALYSIS IN NITROUS OXIDE, THE HALO H2O IN N2O OFFERS:
- Low parts per billion (ppb) moisture detection capability in medical N2O
- Absolute measurement (freedom from calibration gases)
- Wide dynamic range—over four orders of magnitude
- Low cost of ownership and operational simplicity
- Clean technology—no external calibration gases required
- Compact analyzer footprint
