The Hiden QGA quantitative gas analysis system is designed to handle continuous analysis of gases and vapours at pressures near atmosphere in standard form. Inlet accessories are provided so that the system can handle sampling from low to high pressures (up to 30bar). The standard Hiden quartz inert capillary (QIC) sampling interface samples from 100mbar to 2 bar. The QIC operates up to 200°C.
The QIC flexible 2m heated capillary inlet provides rapid response times of less than 300ms for most of the common gases and vapours such as water and organic vapours. Optimum sample integrity is maintained with sample exposure limited to only platinum and quartz wetted surfaces.
The QGA system can be connected to an external dry scroll pump which is included to provide high performance combined sample bypass and UHV foreline pumping. The system has mass range 200AMU (300AMU option) and with a detection capability from 100% to less than 100 part-per-billion. The system is equipped with QGA Professional and MASsoft 7 software.
