HALO H2

Leading choice for ultra-high purity gas users

With Tiger Optics’ HALO H2 hydrogen analyzer, you can verify H2 impurity levels with part-per-billion accuracy, drift-free stability and instantaneous response.

The HALO H2 is easy and fast to install and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification. Its robust design—free of moving parts—results in an analyzer that has a high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate and a very low Cost of Ownership (CoO).

With its patented catalytic conversion technique, utilizing a minute amount of oxygen to cleanly and safely convert hydrogen to moisture, the HALO H2 offers a fully laser-based solution for continuous quality control of your process. Detect gas quality issues before they damage your process.

The HALO H2 offers:

  • Low parts-per-billion (ppb) detection capability with Standard Model
  • Extremely fast speed of response
  • Wide dynamic range
  • Absolute measurement (freedom from need for calibration gases)
  • Low maintenance and cost of ownership
  • Compact, portable package, ideal for both fixed and mobile cart installation
  • Direct measurement in many matrices, including oxygen.

Applications

  • Gaseous CRMs & Calibration Gas Mixtures
  • High-Purity Gases & Systems
  • Research & Development.

Serani™ Max Analyzer Interface Software allows you to have remote access from your computer or laptop for our latest CRDS generation analyzers, such as the Halo KA Max and T-I Max. The Windows-based software package communicates with the analyzer through Ethernet and allows full control of the system conveniently from your desk.
