DETECT HF IN REAL TIME & IN SITU WITH UP TO PPB PRECISION

Hydrogen Fluoride

Major Applications

nanoplus lasers detect hydrogen fluoride detection in numerous applications, such as in gas pipelines, for climate monitoring or combustion control as well as for isotope detection on Mars with the NASA's Curiosity Rover.

Tunable diode laser spectroscopy allows measuring HF with up to ppb precision in real time and in situ. Providing long-term stability and requiring little maintenance, nanoplus lasers are suitable for operation in harsh environments.
