Precision meets stability for lab and process monitoring
Detection limit: < 5 pptv
Sensitivity: > 100 cps/ppbv
Mass Resolution: > 3000
The PTR-TOF 3000 redefines real-time analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combining industrial-grade reliability with high-resolution time-of-flight performance. It sets the new benchmark for robust and stable longterm real-time VOC analysis.
Advanced ionization and stability
The PTR‑TOF 3000 achieves both, exceptional sensitivity and high mass resolving power, ensuring highly accurate and reproducible measurements with proven long-term stability. The optional SRI feature in combination with the new invion ion source generation allows for fast reagent ion switching within seconds. This increases the spectrum of substances that can be detected but also adds to the specificity of the detection of particular compounds. The PTR-TOF 3000 delivers highly stable data, even during repeated, long-term reagent ion switching.
Versatile options and compact design
Add-on options such as the Internal Calibration System (ICS) and Multiport Valve (MPV) or custom gas-stream selector modules allow automated operation and multiple sampling points coverage for challenging industrial monitoring applications. Despite its powerful performance, the instrument is lightweight and compact, making it easy to deploy in laboratories, mobile monitoring units, or even airborne flight research campaigns.
Flexible configurations for diverse applications
Flexible instrument layout configurations provide optimal conditions for a wide range of applications, from air quality monitoring to industrial process control.
The PTR-TOF 3000 also serves as the basis for tailored versions, such as the VOCentinel for automated VOC monitoring and the PTR-TOF QB, which can be designed for deployment in the semiconductor industry as well as for mobile & modular product designs for versatile applications.
