HALO KA Max™ NH3
Description
CRDS GAS ANALYZER
ULTIMATE AMMONIA DETECTION PERFORMANCE IN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING
Our TIGER OPTICS™ HALO KA Max™ NH3 ppt-level ammonia detection analyzer uses our Continuous-Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) and users can verify ammonia impurity levels down to 100 ppt in semi bulk gases, with drift-free stability and virtually instant response to upsets. Our HALO KA Max NH3, based our latest platform, offers exceptional speed and further improved usability in an all-inclusive and compact form factor. The analyzer is fast to install, easy to use and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification. The HALO KA Max NH3 excels in trace-level ammonia detection in bulk gases and specialty gases used in semiconductor manufacturing.
