HALO MAX QCL CO2
PPT-Level Carbon Dioxide Analysis Quantum Cascade Laser Analyzers
HALO MAX QCL CO2 Quantum Cascade Laser Analyzers
Utilizing mid-infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), our new TIGER OPTICS™ HALO Max QCL™ CO2 allows dramatic decreases in detection limits for certain molecules. 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.

DETECTION CAPABILITY
Detection and Matrix | Range | LDL* (3σ) | Precision (1σ) @ zero |
---|---|---|---|
CO2 in N2 | 0 – 2.5 ppm | 100 ppt | 35 ppt |
CO2 in He | 0 – 2 ppm | 90 ppt | 30 ppt |
CO2 in Ar | 0 – 2 ppm | 80 ppt | 25 ppt |
CO2 in H2 | 0 – 4 ppm | 180 ppt | 60 ppt |
CO2 in O2 | 0 – 2 ppm | 90 ppt | 30 ppt |
CO2 in Clean Dry Air (CDA) | 0 – 2.5 ppm | 100 ppt | 35 ppt |
*Due to the high abundance of CO2 in air, purging of the analyzer housing is required to achieve specified LDL (see brochure for purge gas requirements)
