Researchers studying the use of catalysts strive to understand how they function and respond under different conditions. To achieve this, tracking both the inlet and outlet of the reactor is essential. By analyzing the outlet stream composition, scientists gain insights into the reaction pathway, efficiency, and selectivity of the catalyst.
That is why leading researchers rely on Extrel™ laboratory gas analyzers—renowned for their accuracy, flexibility, and performance. Moreover, scaling up to production is seamless thanks to the EXTREL™ MAX 300-RTG 2.0 Quadrupole Industrial Gas Analyzer, which is functionally similar but designed for pilot and full-scale manufacturing environments.

- Nanospray / Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Detection
- Plasma Etch
- Pulsed laser Deposition
Evolved Gas Analyzer
Equipped with a 2 m heated transfer line, an extensive compound library, and the ability to import a variety of external signals, the MAX300-EGA™ is optimized for interfacing with thermal analyzers and microreactors. The chemically inert capillary keeps the sample hot and under vacuum all the way from the furnace to the ionizer to prevent condensation and chemical interaction during transit. Data synchronization couldn’t be easier; the Questor® 5 software comes standard with the ability to receive external signals, like the Start-of-Heating signal from a TGA. Trend and manipulate data within Questor® 5 or simply export it for use on a different platform.
Simply select the gases to measure, or the mass range to scan, in the software and the MAX300-CAT™ is configured to monitor a new reaction or process.

VeraSpec™ APIMS System
The VeraSpec APIMS System provides the ideal ionization techniques for pure gas analysis in one system. The system can be configured for both ionization techniques, eliminating the need for two mass spectrometers, and significantly reducing the overall expense. The base system utilizes either Extrel’s high-performance, closed-source EI ionizer, or the proven, reliable DC Corona Discharge API source. The DC Corona Discharge Source is a chemical or soft ionization source that is ideal for monitoring molecules in the ppb and ppt range. The EI system is taken from our EXTREL MAX300 quadrupole industrial mass spectrometers and has the same proven performance available on those systems with detection limits in the low ppb range. The system utilizes a 19 mm trifilter quadrupole and is available in several mass ranges. The system is also offered in an MS/MS configuration, the VeraSpec Trace MS/ MS.
