High-Performance Portable FTIR Gas Analyzer
The portable FTIR gas analyzer is a cutting-edge solution for real-time multi-gas detection and analysis. Using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and full-spectrum analysis technology, it can detect thousands of organic and inorganic gases and quantify hundreds of compounds simultaneously.
Key features include:
High-resolution analysis: 1 cm⁻¹ resolution (adjustable scan speed) for precise qualitative and quantitative measurement.
Wide spectral range: 485–8500 cm⁻¹ for broad gas coverage.
High-performance DTGS detector: Operates at room temperature, no refrigeration needed, long lifespan, wide linearity, and high sensitivity.
Long-life reference laser: Solid-state VSECL laser with up to 10 years of service.
Built-in zirconia sensor: Measures oxygen in the sample gas accurately.
Advanced sample handling: 300 ml gas chamber with nitrogen reverse purge interface and backblown design to minimize contamination.
Software integration: PLS algorithm for robust qualitative and quantitative analysis, real-time data recording, and Excel-compatible export for offline processing.
This analyzer is ideal for industrial emission monitoring, environmental compliance testing, CEMS comparison, boiler and combustion monitoring, and emergency air quality assessment.
