Explore PTR-MS trace gas analyzers and key applications.
Our real-time AMC Monitoring solutions help track trace VOCs in ultra-clean environments, where even the smallest emissions can affect quality, yield, and reliability.
From Fab-wide semiconductor production to cleanroom materials testing and FOUP monitoring, the focus is on detecting contamination early and understanding its source. This creates greater confidence and prevents tool downtime in critical environments where absolute purity is essential.
The PTR-TOF-MS from IONICON, integrated into Pfeiffer Vacuum’s contamination management solutions, provides our advanced semiconductor fab customers with fast, reliable and highly sensitive information about organic contaminations. It is very valuable for the quality of their IC products.
We support real-time analysis for combustion processes, industrial emissions, and emerging energy applications where precision matters.
Whether in engine development, carbon capture, petrochemical processing, or waste treatment, the goal is the same: to understand complex gas mixtures quickly and use that knowledge to improve performance, reduce impact, and support transition technologies.
When safety is critical, fast detection makes the difference. Our technologies help identify hazardous compounds in industrial, environmental, and security-related settings where reliable information is needed without delay. Applications range from continuous fenceline and property line monitoring to leak detection and chemical threat screening. The result is a stronger basis for regulatory compliance, risk reduction, and informed response.
We are pleased to confirm that all four Ionicon PTR-TOF units installed for fenceline monitoring are operating satisfactorily. Additionally, we are satisfied with the overall performance of the equipment, and the technical support provided by Petrointech (IONICONs representative in Saudi Arabia) has met our expectations. We appreciate your commitment to maintaining accurate service records and look forward to your usual support.
This includes aroma and quality analysis, fermentation monitoring, emissions from biological sources, and biomarker research in breath. Across these fields, chemical data opens new perspectives on processes, products, and biological conditions.
Our IONICON PTR-MS offers us the unique possibility to follow dynamic processes of VOCs in many aspects relating to food/food packaging and their physiological impact. This not only greatly complements our classical gas chromatography-based chemical analyses but also opens up new fields of investigation previously not accessible with these techniques.
Our technologies enable scientists to investigate dynamic processes with high sensitivity and precision, both in the lab and in demanding real-world environments. This makes them a strong foundation for fundamental studies as well as large-scale research campaigns.
We have been dreaming of a VOC monitor that reports concentrations of VOCs and takes care of detector tuning, calibrations, background subtractions, and other data preprocessing, just like our other online instruments. The difference is that those instruments are dedicated to one or two trace-gas species each, whereas our PTR-MS can detect thousands of VOC species, spanning many orders of magnitude in concentration and volatility.
We have been using the PTR-10k and its predecessor, the PTR-Qi-TOF, from IONICON for over eight years in our clinical research on breath analysis in pulmonary diseases. These instruments have proven to be highly reliable and sensitive, making them invaluable tools for our studies.
