Gas Analysis & Mass Spectrometry
V&F Analyse- und Messtechnik GmbH of Absam, Austria, develops and builds mass spectrometers for fast online gas analysis. Its analyzers use ion-molecule reaction mass spectrometry (IMR-MS), electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS) or a combination of both, covering trace gases down to the ppt range as well as main components up to 100 vol%.
The range includes universal analyzers such as the AirSense and ComboSense, dedicated instruments for engine oil consumption and oil dilution, exhaust and catalyst research, CO2 purity, PET bottle inspection, hydrogen purity and fuel cell testing, together with accessories for sampling, sample preparation, calibration gas generation and gas switching.
