Optics Debuts the Halo, World's First Mini-CRDS Gas Analyzer Warrington, PA – February 26, 2007 – Tiger Optics LLC, a manufacturer of laser-based trace gas analyzers, today announced the availability of the Halo™, the world’s first mini-Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) device. The Halo is a compact and affordable gas analyzer, addressing the heretofore unmet need for fast, accurate, calibration-free measures of dedicated analytes in the parts-per-billion (PPB) to parts-per-million range (PPM). Addressing over 400 points worldwide, Tiger’s analyzers offer proven performance, enhanced throughput, and greatly reduced cost of ownership. Based on Tiger’s patented continuous wave (CW) CRDS technology, the Halo can be used to measure an array of analytes, including moisture, methane, acetylene, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, and ammonia. Its reliance upon an absolute principle of science obviates the need for costly and frequent calibration. Plus, it requires no consumables and is robust and durable, as well as easier to operate than most other measurement solutions. “We call it ‘CRDS for all’ because the Halo offers the price, package, and performance characteristics many people seek, but have been unable to achieve with our advanced cavity ring-down technology,” said Lisa Bergson, CEO of Tiger Optics. “With the Halo, they can enjoy the speed of response, specificity, wide dynamic range, accuracy, ease of use, and low cost of ownership Tiger technology confers at almost half the price and way more than half the size of the original Tiger tools.” The Halo can also analyze in many challenging matrices, including ammonia, arsine, phosphine, hydrogen bromide, and carbon dioxide. Unlike traditional gas analysis methods, which are slow, complex, and cumbersome, requiring consumables and fossil-fuel based standards to verify performance, the Halo enables companies to achieve analysis in real-time of even minimal, e.g. ppb (parts per billion) variations while simultaneously ensuring cleaner, consumable-free operations. Indeed, Tiger Optics’ gas analyzers enable organizations to employ “cleaner” operations, i.e. environmentally friendly, by removing the need for fossil-fuel based standards to calibrate its equipment. This feature, in addition to reducing waste and pollution, also saves on labor and reduces downtime. From the user’s standpoint, this adds up to a high level of performance with very low cost of ownership. Accurate gas analysis is important because it affords users more control over processes. By quickly and accurately measuring the amount of moisture and other harmful species in a variety of industrial applications, Tiger Optics’ gas analyzers improve yields, with a exceptional speed of response and accuracy, allowing users to see process variations that traditional methods either average out or miss completely. The Halo, thus, permits users to achieve the dream of real-time process control. “That’s why we call it ‘21st Century Spectroscopy,” Ms. Bergson noted. The Halo is now available for purchase for less than $30,000. For more information, please visit www.tigeroptics.com. About Tiger Optics #### Media contact: |
