News & Events

All of the world’s leading metrology labs provide a primary reference for water vapor to be able to calibrate humidity sensors against a well-defined and stable standard. Most of these primary references are designed for moisture concentrations and pressures that are more typical for the lower atmosphere. The national metrology institute of Italy, INRiM, took a new approach to provide a primary reference for moisture concentrations that are lower than typical, as demonstrated in their recent publication in Measurement Science and Technology*. This new low frost-point generator is intended for the calibration of humidity sensors designed for conditions in the upper atmosphere, and covers the frost point range from -100°C to -20°C.

To evaluate their new standard, INRiM researchers relied on a pair of Tiger Optics CRDS trace moisture analyzers, one HALO RP analyzer for lower H2O concentrations and one Spark analyzer for the higher range. Both analyzers showed excellent agreement. All measurements are also consistent with the expected value within the reported measurement uncertainty, providing researchers an easy and reliable initial evaluation of their new generator.

Tiger Optics Aids Purifier Makers

Gas purifiers are devices that remove or convert undesired molecules or contaminants from gaseous samples. They are widely used for various industrial and research applications, including gas delivery systems, point-of-use purification, and bulk gas purification.

To address their development and qualification needs, Tiger Optics has developed various applications for gas purifier makers, as well as specialty gas companies and end-users within the Semi/LED market.

Highlights of our capabilities and offerings include:

• Multi-species, versatile technology
• Absolute accuracy and excellent sensitivity
• Global customer base and service support
• Low Cost-of-Ownership and ease of operation
• Customized product development

Meet the Next-Generation Cleanroom Monitors: T-I Max Series

Building on the success of our proven ambient Tiger-i air monitors, we proudly introduce the next-generation T-I Max series. Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) directly affects product yields and the performance of semiconductor fabrication tools. T-I Max monitors, designed to detect trace amounts of ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and hydrogen fluoride (HF) in cleanrooms, offer significant improvements in detection limits and speed of response.

Our well-regarded Tiger-i platform of instruments take scant minutes to respond to intrusions, yet the T-I Max NH₃ delivers even faster measurement performance and detects down to parts-per-trillion (ppt) level of the contaminant.

With T-I Max, Your Selective Catalytic Reduction Can Curb Ammonia Slip

Ammonia, an odor nuisance at a local level, is a critical atmospheric pollutant in its own right and also a major contributor to the formation of airborne particulate matter. The transport of secondary pollution, as well as ammonia itself, has a negative impact on air quality many miles from its source. It can also corrode plant infrastructure and foul equipment downstream, adding to maintenance costs and downtime at power plants, refineries, kilns, and other industrial combustion sources.  Since NH₃ is often the reducing agent added to exhaust gas to be adsorbed onto a catalyst, it is crucial to measure and adjust the input efficiently.

Tiger Optics’ Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) is ideally suited to the requirements of numerous environmental measurement applications, including process control for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for these reasons:

• Drift-free, with accuracy traceable to the world’s major national reference labs
• Freedom from interference
• No periodic sensor replacement/maintenance
• Speed of response within seconds
• Wide dynamic range

The low maintenance and calibration-free nature of Tiger’s CRDS technology also affords extremely low Cost-of-Ownership and allows users to operate with confidence and ease in the field.
