Gas Concentration Analyzer for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Gas Concentration Analyzer for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
AMC Monitoring for Inorganic Gases
AMC Monitoring for Inorganic Gases

The SI5450 analyzer offers the power of highly sensitive laser spectroscopy in a robust, easy-to-use, compact design. It employs a mid-IR laser that effectively measures the concentration of SO2 gas with a high degree of accuracy and precision. It offers significant advantages compared with incumbent AMC measurement techniques, such as ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS), ion chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and UV fluorescence. The legacy techniques suffer the inadequacies of high costs of ownership, performance shortfalls and slow speeds of response.
- Real-time AMC monitoring in cleanrooms, FOUP and fab equipment
- Fast, continuous analysis in seconds
- Virtually no downtime or consumables cost
- Free of interference from common fab chemicals
- Extreme accuracy for event confirmation
