Hiden QGA 2.0
QGA 2.0 · Gas analysis

Overview.

The QGA 2.0 is a full update of Hiden’s QGA system, incorporating significant enhancements for improved performance and ease of use. It is lighter, more user-friendly and environmentally considerate.

The system has a mass range of 200 amu (300 amu option) and a detection capability from 100% to less than 100 parts-per-billion.

The Hiden QIC (Quartz Inert Capillary) sampling interface, sampling from 100 mbar to 2 bar, is included as standard. Operating to 200°C, its flexible 2 m capillary provides response times of less than 300 milliseconds for most common gases and vapors, including water and organic vapors.

Typical applications
