Quick Product Selector

Spark Series

Best fit: Cost-conscious industrial gas quality control where fast, reliable trace measurement is required.

Key applications: Industrial gas QC, air separation units, medical gas verification, cylinder analysis and truck unloading/receiving analysis.

Typical targets / matrix gases: H₂O, CH₄, CO₂ and CO in inert gas backgrounds.

Why choose it: A budget-friendly entry point with high dynamic range and fast measurement speed. A practical choice where you need strong day-to-day process visibility without over-specifying the analyser.

Specify Spark when: Your operation needs to verify gas purity, identify contamination quickly or release product confidently across routine industrial gas streams.

Product Series: HALO Series

Best fit: Broad semiconductor, specialty gas and high-purity gas applications that demand flexibility.

Key applications: Semiconductor manufacturing, bulk and specialty gas manufacturing, fuel-cell hydrogen quality verification and demanding process gas analysis.

Typical targets / matrix gases: A wide range of species, including hydrides, fluorides, rare gases, NH₃ and CH₂O.

Why choose it: The most versatile Tiger Optics platform, combining deep analytical performance with a compact footprint. It is the right starting point when the process is complex, the contaminant list is varied or the installation has limited space.

Specify HALO when: You need one platform tailored to a specific gas species and matrix, particularly where standard industrial gas analysers do not provide the required sensitivity or application coverage.

Product Series: T-I Max Series

Best fit: Critical trace contamination monitoring where very low detection limits are essential.

Key applications: Semiconductor cleanrooms, airborne molecular contamination monitoring, continuous emissions monitoring and high-sensitivity process applications.

Typical targets / matrix gases: Trace HF, HCl, NH₃, H₂S and EtO.

Why choose it: Extreme sensitivity reaching parts-per-trillion detection limits for suitable applications. Use it where trace contamination is not merely a quality issue, but a yield, safety, compliance or product-integrity risk.

Specify T-I Max when: You need to see contamination before it becomes an event. This is the platform for stringent cleanroom control, difficult reactive gases and compliance-driven measurement at exceptionally low concentrations.

Product Series: Prismatic Series

Best fit: Multi-species monitoring in a single gas stream.

Key applications: Unmanned air separation units and fuel-cell-grade hydrogen quality control.

Typical targets / matrix gases: Simultaneous H₂O, CO, CO₂ and CH₄ measurement.

Why choose it: Measures up to four trace molecules simultaneously from one gas stream. That means fewer analysers, fewer sample interfaces and a clearer view of total gas quality.

Specify Prismatic when: Multiple contaminants must be monitored continuously and independently. It is especially effective where unattended operation, reduced analyser count and rapid decision-making matter.

Product Series: CO-rekt Series

Best fit: Hydrogen-rich process streams in hazardous industrial locations.

Key applications: HyCO plants, steam methane reformers, syngas operations and fuel gas production.

Typical targets / matrix gases: Trace impurities in hydrogen streams.

Why choose it: Designed for demanding hydrogen service and fitted with a purged NEMA enclosure certified for Class I, Div 2 harsh environments.

Specify CO-rekt when: Your process involves hydrogen or syngas in a classified area and the analyser must be as site-ready as the measurement is critical. It is a strong fit for protecting catalyst performance, product purity and downstream process reliability.

Product Series: ALOHA Series

Best fit: Moisture measurement in ultra-pure, corrosive ammonia.

Key applications: High-brightness LED manufacturing and advanced GaN-on-Si device production.

Typical targets / matrix gases: Moisture in ultra-pure NH₃.

Why choose it: Industry-leading sub-ppb moisture detection limits specifically for corrosive ammonia matrices.

Specify ALOHA when: Ammonia purity directly affects epitaxial growth, device quality or manufacturing yield. This is a specialist solution for an application where conventional moisture analysis can fall short.

Selection Guide: Start with the application

Industrial gases, cylinder testing and ASU quality control

Choose Spark for core trace measurements in inert backgrounds when speed, range and value are the priority. Choose Prismatic if you need a broader, simultaneous picture of H₂O, CO, CO₂ and CH₄ in one stream. For unmanned ASUs, Prismatic can simplify monitoring architecture by replacing separate single-species measurement points.

Semiconductor fabrication and specialty gas production

Start with HALO where the gas species, matrix or impurity profile is diverse. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of semiconductor and specialty gas duties. Move to T-I Max when the measurement challenge is driven by ultra-low detection limits, especially for reactive contaminants or airborne molecular contamination. Select ALOHA for the specific challenge of moisture in ultra-pure ammonia used in LED and GaN-on-Si production.

Hydrogen, HyCO and fuel-cell quality

For hydrogen quality control requiring simultaneous moisture, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane data, Prismatic provides a direct multi-species approach. For SMR, HyCO, syngas and fuel gas environments, CO-rekt is purpose-built for trace impurity measurement in hydrogen streams and demanding classified-area installation conditions. HALO is also relevant where hydrogen quality requirements extend to a broader range of target contaminants.

Continuous emissions and environmental compliance

Select T-I Max when low-level HF, HCl, NH₃, H₂S or EtO measurement is central to the compliance strategy. The decision should be based on the regulated compound, reporting threshold, sample conditioning design and required response time—not detection limit alone.

Five questions to define the right configuration

1. What must be measured?

Name every target species, not only the primary contaminant. If multiple impurities drive acceptance or process action, a multi-species solution such as Prismatic may reduce complexity.

2. What is the background gas?

The same contaminant can present a very different measurement challenge in nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, ammonia, specialty gas or an emissions stream. Matrix gas is a core selection input.

3. What concentration range matters operationally?

Define normal background level, warning threshold, action limit and worst-case excursion. Specify a range that supports decisions. Do not select solely on the lowest possible detection limit if the useful process range is higher.

4. Where will the analyser be installed?

Confirm whether the installation is laboratory, production floor, utility area, cleanroom, outdoor shelter or hazardous location. For classified hydrogen and syngas environments, CO-rekt’s purged Class I, Div 2 enclosure is a decisive consideration.

5. What response time does the process need?

Fast detection is essential for truck receipt testing, upset diagnosis, contamination isolation and product release. The complete response time includes sample transport, conditioning, tubing layout and analyser performance. Treat the sample system as part of the measurement solution.

Engineer the measurement package, not just the instrument

The analyser is only one element of reliable trace measurement. Final selection should account for sample pressure, flow, temperature, materials compatibility, particulate or liquid protection, calibration philosophy, utility requirements, data integration and maintenance access. Reactive and corrosive species require particular attention to wetted materials and sample path design. Long sample lines, dead legs and unsuitable materials can undermine the performance of even the most capable analyser.

A clear specification brief will speed up product selection. Include the process location, target analyte or analytes, matrix gas, expected and required measurement ranges, pressure and temperature, sample condition, installation classification, desired response time and communications requirements. With these details defined, you can select a Tiger Optics platform that delivers usable process data—not simply an impressive datasheet number.
