TIGER OPTICS’ HALO+ Wins Golden Gas Award at Pittcon 2008Warrington, PA – April 24, 2008 – Tiger Optics LLC, a leading manufacturer of laser-based trace gas analyzers, announced today that it won the first annual Golden Gas Award from Gases & Instrumentation (G&I) in the Gas Analysis / Gas Chromatography category. G&I presented the inaugural award to Tiger Optics for its HALO+ analyzer™, a mini Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) analyzer capable of measuring at parts-per-trillion (PPT) levels. The HALO+ is superior in its category for resolving current industry challenges, while offering superior performance, innovation and sustainability. Awards were presented at Pittcon 2008 and a full list of award recipients is available on the G&I Web site. The HALO+ received the Gold Award, the highest honor in its category, for its all-around excellence in a number of critical factors. The HALO+ is an efficient solution, with a footprint only slightly larger than a shoebox, yet capable of effectively analyzing ultra-high purity gases. The HALO+ is competitively priced and offers the clear analytic advantage of CW-CRDS innovation. The end result is that even the most sensitive semiconductor, laboratory, process control or industrial environment is assured of accurate, calibration-free measurement of moisture in extremely low levels of measurement. “Tiger Optics is highly honored to receive the Golden Gas award for our HALO+ analyzer,” said Lisa Bergson, CEO of Tiger Optics. “The Golden Gas award and widespread customer acceptance of the HALO+ encourages us to continue providing innovative and effective technology that all industries can use.” Since first announcing the HALO family of products in early 2007, Tiger Optics has experienced dramatic demand for the analyzer from customers around the world, especially those who utilize sensitive processes where accurate moisture measurement is critical for product integrity. Customers in gas, specialty gas, laboratory calibration, industrial process control, and semiconductor fabrication industries have embraced these products as they provide fast, accurate, calibration-free measurement of moisture in the PPT to parts-per-million (PPM) range. The HALO family has generated over a third of Tiger Optics’ total revenues in its first year of availability, and the HALO+ demonstrates that Tiger Optics’ patented technology can be readily and accurately applied to increasingly smaller footprints.
