Tiger Optics Introduces New Trace Moisture Analyzer for Hydride Gases

Warrington, PA (December 2003) Tiger Optics is proud to announce a significant advance in moisture measurement for hydrides gases such as ammonia (NH3) phosphine (PH3) and arsine (AsH3) gases. The MTO-LP-H20 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.

Based on breakthrough technology, Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS), the MTO-LP-H2O offers state-of-the-art moisture detection in milliseconds, with absolute accuracy. 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. With its corrosion-resistant flow stream, robust design, flexible software, four-inlet gas manifold, and advanced sensing technology, the MTO-LP-H2O is the most versatile moisture analyzer available. A complete lab-in-a-box, it saves time, money, and space. It is ideal for low-temperature epitalial applications, specialty gas production, and semiconductor compounds.
