Overview.

The HPR-20 R&D is a benchtop mass spectrometer for monitoring evolved gases and vapors. A triple filter mass spectrometer provides improved resolution and abundance sensitivity, with an ultimate detection limit of 5 ppb subject to spectral interference.

It is offered with a wide range of interfaces for connection to external equipment, and is configured with Hiden’s heated Quartz Inert Capillary (QIC) for continuous sampling of gases and vapors.

Backing and bypass pumping is provided by a high performance scroll pump. Gas sampling is continuous, with a sample flow rate user configurable from less than 1 ml/min to more than 15 ml/min.

Typical applications

Thermal analysis TA/MSCatalysisFuel cellsCVD/MOCVD/ALCVDEnvironmental monitoringGlove box monitoringGas separation studiesMud logging (oil exploration)
