MAX300-LG

Unmatched Mass Spec Technology for Real-Time, Multi-Species Monitoring

Our EXTREL™ MAX300-LG™ High Performance Laboratory Gas Analyzer combines the analytical capabilities of our high-performance industrial Mass Spectrometer for the laboratory. This analyzer offers our quadrupole performance in an economical package suitable for climate-controlled laboratory environments. Typical applications include Catalysis Research, Bench Scale Reactors, Process Development, and Pilot Scale Research.

The Questor® 5 Process Control Software is ideal for bench scale and pilot scale process research and development. Capable of monitoring an unlimited number of components and can utilize multivariate analysis for enhanced performance in complex matrices. Single ion monitoring or full mass range scanning can be selected by the user.

Component concentrations, intensities, and derived (calculated) values are displayed, stored, and output as defined by the user. Display options include graphical and tabular displays for both real time and archived data.
Performs extensive diagnostics during SmartStart™ and continuously monitors diagnostics during operation to ensure data validity.
Questor® 5 software operates under the Microsoft Windows® operating system and features a web-based user interface.
Provides easy and secure access to your system and data. The connection can be direct from a workstation or from a plant network via a standard Ethernet or equivalent link.
User-based password protection is implemented to provide data and operational security. Advanced event logging allows for data integrity and compliance with 21 CFR 11 regulations.

HIGH RESOLUTION, SPECIFICITY & SENSITIVITY

High repeatability ensures that calculated metabolic parameters derived from the gas analysis, like the respiratory quotient (RQ), are accurate and precise
Analyzes all compounds in the sample with very high precision
Flexible to easily measure trace volatiles such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, ammonia, and hydrocarbons for the purpose of diagnostic evaluation
For high altitude conditions, the system automatically adjusts and delivers uniform, high precision data regardless of sample pressure
Configurations built for sampling from high pressure (hyperbaric) conditions, or sub-atmospheric pressures, such as those found at high altitudes
Fast acquisition software and inlet configuration designed specifically to produce the full breath-to-breath quantitative profile
Complete sample composition allows the researcher to calculate metabolic parameters, like the RQ, without the need for integrating additional flow measurements
