Hiden Analytical manufactures quadrupole mass spectrometers which are:

Stable Sensitive Responsive

Our quadrupoles provide analysis of:

Residual gases and vapours in vacuum and ultra high vacuum Gases and vapour in vacuum process, in process at pressures up to atmospheric pressure, and in processes with pressure up to 30bar Volatile organic vapours Metal vapours Metal organic vapours Dissolved species in liquids Plasma ions, neutrals and radicals Secondary ions in SIMS surface analysis Species analysed as ions, positive and negative, neutral and neutral radical species

Our quadrupole mass spectrometers are available with mass range options up to 2500amu, providing for analysis of the widest variety of organic, metal organic and inorganic compounds.

How we analyse:

Advanced mass spectrometric techniques coupled with sampling systems that enable sensitive, stable and high resolution results Sampling systems include: Capillary inlet - Quartz inert capillary-QIC Multiple stream analysis Direct orifice sampling Molecular beam supersonic sampling Cross beam source sampling Solid insertion probe Dissolved species probe Custom engineered systems for special applications

What the results tell us:

Species identification in conjunction with library database information Quantitative partial pressure measurement Accurate Quantitative gas composition measurement Trend analysis - transients analysed at millisecond rates, time resolved measurements in pulsed processes measured in the microsecond time frame Concentration of dissolved gases in liquids Direct analysis of vapour/solid interactions End point detection in ion beam etch applications Depth profile information from our SIMS analysers Elemental mapping and surface imaging from our SIMS analysers Static SIMS for surface contamination analysis
