Hiden Analytical has issued a catalogue focused on its mass spectrometer systems and micro-reactors for control and monitoring of diverse gas-related thermal processes.
Areas of application include quantification, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal programmed desorption (TPD) and general thermal reaction studies, with a range of interfaces available to accommodate process pressures from sub-atmospheric to 30 bar.
Products include the fully integrated TPD workstation for surface desorption studies at ultra-high vacuum (UHV), operating with small sample areas of 1cm2 and programmable heating of specimens to 1,000C.
The system features a UHV-compatible load lock and sample transfer mechanisms for minimised background vacuum levels.
The Spaci-MS interface is also featured, with spatially resolved fine-bore quartz capillary sampling lines and automated linear translator to accommodate up to 16 capillaries, each with an integrated thermocouple, within a compact area of 5cm2 for three-dimensional process monitoring.
Hiden's product range includes the Catlab integrated micro-reactor/mass spectrometer series and both bench-top and freestanding mass spectrometer systems.
