What we do
Hiden Analytical manufactures quadrupole mass spectrometers
Our bespoke design service provides for client interactive development of solutions to meet specific requirements.
What?
Our quadrupoles provide analysis of :
- Residual gases and vapours in vacuum and ultra high vacuum
- Gases and vapour in vacuum process, in process at pressures up to atmospheric pressure, and in processes with pressure up to 30bar
- Volatile organic vapours
- Metal vapours
- Metal organic vapours
- Dissolved species in liquids
- Plasma ions, neutrals and radicals
- Secondary ions in SIMS surface analysis
- Species analysed as ions, positive and negative, neutral and neutral radical species
How?
How we analyse :
- Advanced mass spectrometric techniques coupled with sampling systems that enable sensitive, stable and high resolution results
- Capillary inlet – Quartz inert capillary-QIC
- Multiple stream analysis
- Direct orifice sampling
- Molecular beam supersonic sampling
- Cross beam source sampling
- Solid insertion probe
- Dissolved species probe
- Custom engineered systems for special applications
Why?
What the results tell us :
- Species identification in conjunction with library database information
- Quantitative partial pressure measurement
- Accurate Quantitative gas composition measurement
- Trend analysis – transients analysed at millisecond rates, time resolved measurements in pulsed processes measured in the microsecond time frame
- Concentration of dissolved gases in liquids
- Direct analysis of vapour/solid interactions
- End point detection in ion beam etch applications
- Depth profile information from our SIMS analysers
- Elemental mapping and surface imaging from our SIMS analysers
- Static SIMS for surface contamination analysis
