Product news

GOW-MAC® Instrument Co.'s Series 900 Toxic Gas Analyzer is a highly selective and precise analytical instrument for quantifying trace amounts of toxic gases in industrial gas applications.

The principle of this automated, fully digital instrument is based on aqueous scrubbing of the target gas by a coil sampler coupled with a gas-liquid separator, followed by derivatization of the analyte to form a highly light-absorbing chromophore in an on-line reactor. The derivative is then quantified using a colorimetric detector.

Any gas species with potential to be derivatized can be determined by the Series 900TGA; e.g.: HF, NH3, HONO, HCl, SO2, H2S, aldehydes, etc. The analyzer is not only able to determine trace level toxic gases in air, but also to quantify the ppb/ppm level impurities in industrial processing and electronic gases, such as N2, N2O, NF3, etc.

Features include continuous, digital readout; internal sample pump; adjustable flow rate and light intensity; 4-20 mA or voltage output; 19” rack design; uses standard chemical procedures; and a detection range of 5 ppb to 10 ppm (application dependent).

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters.

Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.
