Ionicon is presenting its PTR-QiTOF and PTR-TOF 1000 gas analysers, complementing its PTR-TOF trace gas analyser series, at Pittcon 2015.
Featuring a quadrupole ion guide, the PTR-QiTOF boasts up to 25x more sensitivity, one order of magnitude lower detection limit and 20% higher mass resolution than other analysers.
Ionicon said that this boost in sensitivity is especially beneficial for cutting edge applications like eddy-covariance flux measurements, where ultra-low VOC concentrations have to be quantified with more than 10 Hz.
Meanwhile, the high time-resolution and sensitivity of the company’s PTR-TOF instruments enable flux measurements of biogenic VOCs, providing new insights to our understanding of the atmospheric VOC budget by studying active atmosphere-ecosystem exchange of a vast number of BVOCs.
Experience a live demonstration of the PTR-TOF 1000 at booth #2443 at Pittcon 2015, 9-12 March 2015, New Orleans, LA, US.
