Even trace levels of carbon dioxide can contaminate ultra-high-purity gases, reduce semiconductor yield, freeze cryogenic systems, interfere with specialty gas production, and compromise gas purity.

The TIGER OPTICS HALO Max QCL CO₂ continuously measures carbon dioxide at ppt concentrations, allowing operators to detect contamination before it impacts production.  The HALO Max QCL CO₂ for ppt-level carbon dioxide detection, is based on our latest Max platform, offers exceptional speed and further improved usability in an all-inclusive and robust package. The analyzer is fast to install, offers continuous, real-time detection, and is easy to use and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification and zero drift.

It perfectly complements our HALO KA Max series (for H₂O, NH₃ and CH₄), the Halo OK (for O₂) and our other QCL-based analyzer, the HALO Max QCL CO to utilize the advantages of CRDS for detection of a large variety of critical trace impurities.

Why Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL)?

The HALO Max QCL combines Quantum Cascade Laser technology with Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) to achieve exceptional sensitivity for carbon dioxide measurements.

Benefits include:

• ppt detection limits
• Direct optical measurement
• No sensor degradation
• No consumable sensors
• Minimal calibration
• Fast response
• Excellent repeatability
• Long-term stability
• Continuous online operation

What is a trace carbon dioxide analyzer?

A trace carbon dioxide analyzer continuously measures extremely low concentrations of CO₂ in high-purity process gases.

Why measure carbon dioxide in bulk gases?

Carbon dioxide contamination can freeze cryogenic equipment, contaminate semiconductor processes, and reduce gas purity.

Why use CRDS?

CRDS measures gas absorption directly using laser light, providing exceptional sensitivity without sensor drift.
