CIC Photonics, Inc. is dedicated to providing today’s growing
industries with the highest sensitivity and fastest time response instrumentation.
Our analyzers are used worldwide in a variety of different arenas; although CIC
Photonics has a set of core systems, we pride ourselves on truly meeting the
needs of our customers by adapting the core analyzers to their specifications.
Our IRGAS Dual Cell Gas Analyzer incorporates a rugged FTIR
spectrometer with a stainless steel long path and short path gas cell. Our long
path gas cells used for this system can be a 9.6m Ranger or a 4m to 6m 4Runner
gas cell. Also included in the system is our Scout-EN short path gas cell. The
Scout-EN can be configured for a number of pathlengths (2, 5, 10, 15 or 20cm).
These gas cells are mounted on a railing system plate that is
connected to the spectrometer. With the railing plate it is easy to switch
between the two gas cells providing a compact solution for applications that
have a wide variety of concentration ranges. The IRGAS Dual Cell Gas Analyzer is
ideal for applications requiring limits of detection in the % level to 50 ppm,
and the ppm level to 10ppb range. Not to mention the rapid gas exchange due to
its low internal volume. This combination produces a product that can handle
some of the most demanding applications, while still providing high energy
throughputs of ³ 36-48% depending on the long
path gas cell being used.
Included with the IRGAS Dual Cell Gas Analyzer is CIC Photonics
patented SPGAS analytical software package. This package does everything from
concentration tracking and hardware managing to allowing the user to
recalculate previously collected data within minutes.
For information regarding LODs for this system please refer to
our IRGAS SPA and IRGAS LPA specification sheets.
Each IRGAS system is incorporated with CIC Photonics patented
SPGAS analytical software package. This package includes the following patented
softwares: IRGAS-100 or IRGAS-100 with SpectraStream, Qmax, Configuration
Manager, and Reprocessing Tool. These programs provide a unique solution to
analytical problems. All of the programs are extremely user friendly so that
the programs can be operated by anyone regardless of skill level.
The IRGAS-100 software provides real-time monitoring of species concentrations,
while also having the capabilities to control various hardware components
within the system. Some of the hardware components that can be managed by the
software are valves, pressure transducers, temperature controllers, etc....
Working with the SPGAS software, SpectraStream allows the user
to view changes in species concentrations within seconds of the changes happening
through the program’s Fast Concentration Tracker by decreasing the response
time that is typically associated with FTIR.
The system calibrations are generated in the Qmax program which
permits the user to easily generate calibrations and/or add new species to
preexisting calibrations. In addition to creating new calibrations, Qmax can be
used to apply correction factors to current calibrations.
The IRGAS Configuration Manager is a program that contains all
of the information regarding the system in one central location. In the Configuration
Manager the user can find various parameters for the system that can be altered
to his or her needs.
Our most recent program addition to the software package is the Quantification
Reprocessing Tool. This program allows the user to recalculate data that had
been previously collected. Instead of having to recollect data for temperature
and pressure changes, a user can enter the new parameters in the Quantification
Reprocessing Tool and the program will recalculate the data with the new
parameters. As well as recalculating new parameters, it can reprocess using new
calibration files that have more or less species being quantified. The
Quantification Reprocessing Tool can also be used to determine the accuracy of
a calibration file and help to determine the correction factor needed for
calibrations. Collected spectra can also be displayed and viewed sequentially
in the Quantification Reprocessing Tool allowing the viewer to see slight
changes in the spectra.
