IMS-Analyzer

The environmental and industrial IMS multi-gas analyzers

The IMS-Analyzer is a multi-gas analyzer as Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) with high sensitivity in the lower ppb-range and high resolution. With this trace-gas analyzer toxic gases can be detected and identified without any enrichment directly in situ already at a very low concentration level.

For the further enhancement of the selectivity and further reduction of cross sensitivities the IMS-Analyzer is also available as GC-IMS approach. There the IMS is coupled with a gas chromatographic column (GC) for pre-separation.

price / performance ratio which makes it quite interesting for replacements of expensive process gas chromatographs.

This unique combination of GC column with IMS to a GC-IMS is also offered as mobile analyzer and is the smallest GC-IMS analyzer available on the market.

With the IMS-Analyzer, IUT offers a high sensitive, high selective, reliable, and easy to operate analyzer. The analyzer offers an excellent

Technical DataIMS-AnalyzerThe environmental and industrial IMS multi-gas analyzers

With this trace-gas analyzer toxic gases can be detected and identified without any enrichment directly in situ already at a very low concentration level. The detection including sampling and identification process takes few seconds, depending on the possible GC-Setup.

Compared with other systems the IMS-Analyzer has the advantage to operate under atmospheric pressure. This makes it best suitable for mobile applications for on-site measurements. The powerful rechargeable battery offers an optimal mobile use. Due to the special approach the sensitivity is extremely high. Unlike other IMS systems the IMS-Analyzer does not use dopants and does not use a membrane.

For the enhancement of the selectivity and further reduction of cross sensitivities the IMS-Analyzer is also available as GC-IMS approach. There the IMS is coupled with a gas chromatographic column (GC) for pre-separation. The GC-IMS version operates without carrier gas which keeps the operation costs low and makes it best suitable for the mobile use.

EX-protection (purge system) is available.

Calibration functions with an additional calibrator for SPAN/ZERO calibration is offered as well as Multi-Point-Sample (MPS) systems, dilution- or even gas probe chiller systems.
