Warrington, PA (March 15, 2013) Tiger Optics LLC, a leading manufacturer of trace-gas analyzers, today announced that it will showcase four of its newest laser-based products at the Pittcon Conference and Expo in Philadelphia from March 17 to March 21.
At Tiger, the pace of development is relentless and dynamic. The company is now upgrading its entire line of standard analyzers. The featured devices‹the HALO 3, HALO 3 H2O-500, HALO KA, and LaserTrace 2.5‹greatly enhance the speed, range and detection limits of predecessor products. All Tiger Optics analyzers utilize the company¹s patented technology known as Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW CRDS).
With some of the predecessor products going on their sixth or seventh year, we¹re thrilled to offer these significant upgrades to existing and new customers alike, noted Lisa Bergson, Tiger¹s founder and chief executive. With a detection limit of .3 ppb of H2O in helium, for example, the compact HALO 3 affords a whole new range of detection.
The HALO history is a happy one. Introduced in 2006, the original HALO was the brainchild of Dr. Farhang Shadman, the director of the influential Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing at the University of Arizona. At a meeting with Tiger, Dr. Shadman proposed a means to greatly reduce its product footprint, and the HALO was born. Since then, Tiger has expanded this popular platform to include lower range and upper range versions, as well as HALOs for a multitude of molecules and matrices.
Today, the new HALO 3 H2O-500 provides an extraordinary dynamic range, from 10 ppb to 500 ppm of H2O, traversing four orders of magnitude. For its part, the HALO KA, introduced in 2012, ³is unique in its ability, as a compact device, to monitor extremely low levels of contamination in a UHP gas stream,² Bergson said. ³Not only can the HALO-KA monitor moisture, but we also have systems available to monitor a wide variety of analytes in both inert and corrosive gases.²
As for the LaserTrace 2.5, which replaces the LaserTrace+, Bergson said the makers and users of ultra-high-purity gas will enjoy an advanced data filtration technique, resulting in a faster speed of response, as well as faster data acquisition and lower detection range in many gases.
