The TIGER OPTICS™ HALO™ 3 CO analyzer is your trusted solution for low-level CO monitoring, delivering precise, real-time detection down to 40 parts per billion (ppb) using our industry-proven Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) technology.
Accurate and reliable carbon monoxide (CO) detection is essential for ensuring ultra-high purity (UHP) gas quality, especially in hydrogen production, chemical processing, and fuel cell applications. Even trace levels of CO can poison catalysts and compromise both product performance and reputation.
Ensure Gas Purity with the HALO 3 CO UHP Gas Analyzer
Designed for continuous, online gas monitoring, the HALO 3 CO provides drift-free stability, rapid response times, and zero maintenance calibration, making it ideal for:
- CO detection in fuel-cell-grade hydrogen
- Quality assurance in hydrogen refineries and chemical plants
- UHP gas analysis for gas suppliers and industrial gas production
- Process control applications where gas purity is critical
Key Benefits of the HALO 3 CO Gas Analyzer
- Ultra-sensitive CO detection down to 40 ppb
- Based on CRDS technology for accurate, interference-free measurements
- No calibration gases required – significantly reduces operating costs
- Maintenance-free operation – no moving parts or sensor drift
- Compact and easy to use, with fast installation and setup
- Ensures compliance with hydrogen purity standards for fuel cells
