Midac Corporation software

AutoQuant Pro is a powerful new automated, multi-component, quantitative analysis program for analyzing gas phase mixtures in real time. The program provides a comfortable user interface for operating a MIDAC FTIR analyzer, defining analytical methods for computing concentrations of compounds, displaying and outputting results, and automating data collection for multiple sample stream installations. The program uses an advanced multivariate algorithm, originally developed in joint cooperation with scientists at NASA Kennedy Space Center.

MIDAC Standards is a library of over 150 gas phase reference spectra. These spectra are needed because of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990. These amendments have increased the number of hazardous air pollutants (HAP`s) for which emission rates must be measured. Quantitative identification of toxic air compounds in an emissions source is more important than ever. According to the EPA Contract 68D90055 Draft Report on FTIR Technology Development, `FTIR has the advantage that a number of compounds can be detected simultaneously and unambiguously.` But accurate quantification of compounds detected requires an extensive library of reference spectra.
