LaserTrace 3 H2O

Detect changes in gas quality before they can damage your processes. Tiger Optics’ LaserTrace 3 H2O analyzer can verify moisture impurity levels with part-per-trillion accuracy, drift-free stability, and virtually immediate response. Easy and fast to install, effortless maintenance, with built-in zero verification, it measures in bulk gases, specialty gases, and gas mixtures. And its robust design—free of moving parts—results in an analyzer that has a high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate and a very low Cost of Ownership (CoO).

Designed for trace level contamination analysis, the LaserTrace 3 H2O offers:

  • Industry-leading parts-per-trillion detection capability
  • Unprecedented speed of response
  • Widest available dynamic range
  • Absolute measurement (freedom from calibration gases)
  • Flexibility: up to four (4) measurement points per electronics module
  • Extremely low cost of ownership
  • Electronics module compatible with existing LaserTrace sensor modules.

Applications:

  • Gaseous CRMs & Calibration Gas Mixtures
  • High-Purity Gases & Systems
  • Research & Development.
