University of Innsbruck - ACINN

"We have a longstanding history with IONICON instruments to measure eddy covariance fluxes of NMVOCs in the atmosphere...The eddy covariance method requires fast measurements (e.g. on the order of 10Hz)...We have used IONICON instruments on board of aircraft or ground based measurement sites to perform these types of measurements."

University of Montana

"We use a PTR-TOF-MS to study the chemistry and emission of VOCs focusing on wildfires and land-atmosphere exchange. The custom-built instrument allows us to carry out the trace gas concentration and flux measurements on a research aircraft and on the ground with outstanding response time, mass resolution, and sensitivities."

The Evolution from SIFT-MS to PTR-MS

From SIFT to ultimate performance PTR-TOF trace gas analyzers The success story of PTR-TOFMS has its roots in the so-called “Flowing Afterglow Technique”, introduced in the 1960s. From this starting point continuous research and innovations by various experts, who wanted to eliminate instrumental drawbacks and shortcomings, have led to different technological milestones, among them SIFT-MS. […]
