Tiger Optics proudly announces a significant advance in moisture measurement for hydride gases, such as ammonia (NH₃), phosphine (PH₃), and arsine (AsH₃). A chronic problem, residual moisture contamination is extremely difficult to eradicate. Moisture negatively impacts wafer yields of III-V semiconductor compounds and takes a toll on the manufacture of fiber optics and photonics. Yet, up until now, detection of moisture in these matrix gases has been costly, complicated, time consuming, and often inaccurate.

Enter the MTO, the world's first commercially available gas analyzer incorporating Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS). Based on this breakthrough technology, the MTO-LP-H₂O offers state-of-the-art moisture detection in milliseconds, with absolute accuracy. Designed by experienced instrument engineers familiar with your applications, the MTO combines high technology with plug-and-play operation, very modest maintenance, freedom from calibration, and built-in capacity to measure up to four sample gases.

With its corrosion-resistant flow system, robust design, flexible software, and advanced sensing technology, the MTO is the most versatile moisture analyzer available. A complete lab-in-a-box, it saves time, money, and space.

All told, the MTO-LP-H₂O can help you avoid:

Purifier Breakthroughs: Moisture is notoriously difficult and expensive to eliminate. The speed and sensitivity of the MTO indicates purifier saturation early on, giving you time to react.

Iffy Spec Gases: Flawed specs result when gas suppliers use inadequate calibration equipment. The MTO gives you and your suppliers the technology necessary to prove the spec.

Specialty gas production: Since the MTO employs a non-contact measurement technique (only the light "touches" the gas), moisture concentrations can now be quantified in many corrosive and reactive gases.
