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.

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.
ANALYZER SERIES BASED ON QUANTUM CASCADE LASER CAVITY RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY (QCL-CRDS)
- Parts-per-trillion (ppt) detection capability for carbon dioxide (CO2) in UHP bulk gases
- Incorporates mid-infrared QCL technology to achieve the ultimate sensitivity
- Absolute measurement (freedom from calibration)
- Excellent speed of response at ppb levels and below
- Continuous measurement – no batch processing typical with GCs
- Robust design & maximum ease of use
APPLICATIONS
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)
