Tiger Optics delivers a powerful analytical tool for the measurement of trace CH<sub>2<\/sub>O for diverse applications. The low detection limit allows monitoring for compliance with SAE J2719, ISO 14687 or similar purity standards and protects fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) from damage*.<\/p>\n<p>Based on powerful Continuous-Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS), with a proprietary laser lock cell, the HALO 3 CH<sub>2<\/sub>O is free of drift, guaranteeing consistent and reliable trace CH<sub>2<\/sub>O detection in nitrogen, hydrogen and other inert gases. Highly specific to the target molecule, CW-CRDS also prevents cross-interferences from distorting your measurement. And there is no need to perform costly and time-consuming zero and span calibrations, saving both time and money with continuous, online service.<\/p>\n<p>The HALO 3 CH<sub>2<\/sub>O gives you unsurpassed speed of response and ease of use for a range of applications where trace gas measurement is extremely critical, such as sensor validation, gas standard preparation, and fuel cell hydrogen purity analysis.<\/p>\n<h3>Designed for formaldehyde analysis in laboratory and process applications:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Accuracy traceable to the world\u2019s major national reference labs<\/li>\n<li>Industry-proven technology<\/li>\n<li>Freedom from the need for span calibrations<\/li>\n<li>No periodic sensor replacement\/maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Low ppb detection limit<\/li>\n<li>Wide dynamic range and no drift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>*For fuel-cell hydrogen analysis according to ASTM Standard Test Method D7941, the method detection limit (MDL) is 2.5&nbsp;ppb, as determined via U.S. EPA 40 CFR Part 136 Appendix B (95% Confidence Limit).<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Applications<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"tags\">\n<li class=\"first even high-purity-gases-systems\">High-Purity Gases &amp; Systems<\/li>\n<li class=\"odd hydrogen-fuel-cells\">Hydrogen Fuel Cells<\/li>\n<li class=\"even research-development\">Research &amp; Development<\/li>\n<li class=\"last odd syngas-fuel-gas-production\">Syngas &amp; Fuel Gas Production<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-xlarge fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium\" style=\"background-color: #1a4f7b; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thomsongroup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HALO_3_CH2O-Brochure.pdf\">Datasheet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advancing accurate, consistent &amp; drift-free CH2O Measurements Formaldehyde (CH2O) is a key impurity in fuel cell hydrogen, where it is responsible for the degradation of the proton exchange membrane, adversely affecting performance.
