Application Examples and showcases of PTR-MS
Our solutions have become a standard in atmospheric chemistry, environmental & biological research, food & flavor science and generally for trace gas analysis in many application fields. Discover what our customers aim for when using PTR-MS.
Environmental Research
Quantify VOC emission in real-time no matter where and when. PTR-MS offers pptv-level sensitivity and is a robust tool, used on flight campaigns, metropolitan pollution studies and tropospheric VOC studies all over the world.
Waste Incineration
As a very versatile instrument PTR-MS can monitor dioxin surrogates, furans and other harmful VOCs, playing in important role in incineration burning process control and optimization.
Food and Flavor Science
We taste aroma and flavours in real-time, so should the instrument you use for dynamic headspace analysis and aroma release profiling. PTR-MS does and is capable of a lot more than simple electronic noses.
Homeland Security
Unique features of our technology make IONICON PTR-MS instruments the ideal tool for illicit substances detection like chemical warfare agents (CWA), toxic industrial compounds (TIC) and explosives.
Biological Research
Experience the real-time advantage of direct sampling and get immediate results from biogenic VOC releases in nature, measure leaf wounding compounds and other biological processes
Process Monitoring
Airborne molecular contamination (AMC) is a big issue in contamination-free environments of the semiconductor industry. IONICON PTR-MS technology is perfectly suited for monitoring of very low concentrated VOCs.
Indoor Air Quality
Quantify harmful VOCs causing the so called "Sick Building Syndrome" in the offices, public buildings and even public transport (e.g. aircraft cabin or car). PTR-MS gives you immediate results of what the air you breath is made of.
Medicine and Biotechnology
The IONICON PTR-MS technology can also be used for medical research (e.g. breath gas analysis) and biotechnology (e.g. fermentation process control).
