An integrated mass spectrometer and selector valve system for multi-component, multi-stream gas analysis
The Hiden QIC MultiStream is a complete, multi-stream gas composition monitoring system. Capable of analysing gas streams at flow rates from 4 ml/min up to 10 L/min. The system is suited to a range of applications where multi-component, multi-stream gas analysis is required, environmental monitoring for example.
High purity gas analysis
Fuel cells
Gas production and storage
Environmental monitoring
Thermal hydraulic testing
The system features Hiden’s state-of-the-art “Proteus” Multi-stream selector valve coupled with a precision, ultra-stable triple filter mass analyser. Fast data acquisition and low internal dead volume allows switching times of less than 10 seconds per stream.
An 8 way multi-stream valve module is offered as an alternative to the Proteus valve.
Hiden’s QGA Professional quantitative gas analysis software features automatic calibration routines for accurate quantitative analysis. Gas/vapour mass spectral libraries and automatic subtraction of spectral overlaps allow for precise fragmentation pattern recording.
20, 40 and 80 way sample configurations, Integral thermocouple / heater up to 120°C
Robust, flexible, heated QIC direct inlet <500ms response to gases / vapours
Gas flows from 0.01 – 10 l / min from 10 mbar to 2 bar, 100 amu profile in 2.5s
High Sensitivity (to 5 ppb) and Stability (6×106 events)
