MGA 1200CS CyberSecure Mass Spectrometer Gas Analyzer – Advanced Process Gas Analysis
The MGA 1200CS™ CyberSecure Mass Spectrometer Gas Analyzer sets a new standard in process gas analysis. It is the first cybersecure, PLC-enabled fixed magnetic sector mass spectrometer, offering fast, accurate, and stable real-time analysis of up to 16 gas components across multiple gas streams. In fact, it is currently the fastest process mass spectrometer on the market.
Not only is it fast, but it is also built for long-term reliability. The MGA 1200CS delivers excellent stability, best-in-class drift performance, and the longest calibration intervals in the industry. Even better, it uses just one analyzer for both calibration and maintenance—making operations simpler, more efficient, and less costly.
In addition, it can easily connect to various process streams and control both rotary and solenoid valve manifolds. As a result, it delivers robust, high-performance operation, even in the most challenging industrial environments.
Cybersecurity and IIoT-Ready Architecture
The MGA 1200CS is designed with Industry 4.0 in mind. It uses a Modicon M580 ePAC controller and is programmed with EcoStruxure™ Control Expert software. Moreover, its Magelis touchscreen HMI enables secure, role-based access and stores detailed audit trails, supporting full cybersecurity compliance. This makes it especially valuable for regulated industries that require traceable and secure operations.
Reliable for Fermentation Monitoring
When it comes to fermentation processes, the MGA 1200CS offers outstanding precision for both sparge gas and off-gas measurements. Because it delivers real-time data directly into OUR/CER/RQ calculations, it allows for instant process adjustments—helping you optimize yields without waiting for lab test results.
Proven Value in Life Sciences
In the Life Sciences sector, the MGA 1200CS is essential for ensuring complete Clean-in-Place (CIP) validation and maximizing product yields. Its detailed gas analysis helps confirm that processes meet strict regulatory standards, while also maintaining consistent product quality.
Perfect for R&D and Small Bioreactor Use
Thanks to its new low-flow capability, the MGA 1200CS now supports flow rates down to 20 cc/min. This makes it perfect for small bioreactors, including those as small as 250 mL. It is ideal for use in research and development, including industrial and pharmaceutical fermentation, as well as mammalian cell culture. Most importantly, it offers extremely accurate oxygen analysis, even at low gas flow rates—supporting precise and reliable experimentation.
Flexible, Customizable, and Easy to Use
The MGA 1200CS is also highly customizable, offering various options for sampling interfaces, ionization sources, and detectors. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including atmospheric monitoring, gas purity analysis, and process control.
Finally, this analyzer is designed for ease of use, with a simple, intuitive interface and user-friendly controls. Its rugged design and high-quality components ensure long-term accuracy and durability, making it a powerful, flexible solution for use in research, industry, and environmental monitoring.

INDUSTRIES
Our Fixed Magnetic Sector Mass Spectrometer MGA 1200CS is an advanced instrument used in the food and beverage industry to analyze the composition of various samples, including fermented products, brewing, and culture cells. Here are some ways in which the instrument is used in the industry:
- Fermentation monitoring: Used to analyze the volatile compounds produced by the microorganisms. This helps the industry to understand the fermentation process and optimize it to produce the desired products. For example, in the production of beer, the instrument can be used to monitor the concentration of different types of alcohols, esters, and acids that contribute to the flavor profile of the final product.
- Quality control: Used in the food and beverage industry to analyze the composition of raw materials, intermediates, and final products. This helps to ensure that the products meet the required standards and are of consistent quality. For example, in the production of wine, the instrument can be used to analyze the concentration of different types of phenolic compounds, which contribute to the color and taste of the wine.
- Research and development: The instrument is also used in the food and beverage industry for research and development purposes. By analyzing the composition of various samples, researchers can understand the complex chemistry involved in the production of food and beverage products. This information can be used to develop new products or improve existing ones.
