The Thermo Scientific™ MAX-iR™ FTIR Gas Analyzer combines with Thermo Scientific™ StarBoost™ Technology to allow users to achieve single digit ppb to 10’s of ppt detection limits while maintaining all of the benefits of real-time FTIR analysis. This technology breakthrough, available only with the MAX-iR analyzer, eliminates the need for costly mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography (GC) or cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) solutions across a wide variety of applications. Let the MAX-iR analyzer reinvent how you solve your most demanding process and environmental gas analysis needs. Variety of configurations The MAX-iR gas analyzer is built around a small, rugged, high throughput interferometer with 24-bit analog to digital (ADC) integrated detector modules that allow for exceptional signal-to-noise without liquid nitrogen cooling.
Longevity and reliability of the analyzer has been increased using a long-life vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diode and silicon carbide (SiC) IR source. Integrated temperature and pressure sensors provide increased precision for the most demanding certification applications. Finally, dual level vibrational dampening allows the analyzer to operate even in challenging field environments. A deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detector comes standard with the MAX-iR analyzer.
With the optional StarBoost technology, users can choose between indium arsenide (InAs) or mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) detectors. All systems come standard with Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Acquisition™ Automation Software and MAX-Analytics™ Software that provide industry-leading analytics, factory integration tools, high speed identification of compounds, and measurement accuracy/stability without the need for calibration.
