Gas Analysis in Real-Time by MS

Take your engineering experiments to the next level with the power of “real-time”. Discover gas analysis in real-time by mass spectrometry.

It’s time to take your engineering experiments to the next level with the power of real-time. When monitoring vapor phase streams from experiments and reactors, speed of analysis is critical. To offer true real-time analysis, data acquisition and display rates must be on a second-based timeframe. This eliminates many of the common analytical techniques for gas monitoring, which are also limited in scope to only a portion of the sample. Fortunately, Mass Spectrometry (MS) is broad in analytical capability to include the entire sample, and it can be very fast.

Join us for a webinar where we’ll look in detail at the requirements of MS for real-time analysis. But more importantly, the requirements will be covered for quantitative results. Often, MS for gas analysis is practiced as only a “trend monitoring” tool. However, MS can be designed and implemented for quantitative experiments with gas streams. Under proper interface design, calibrations can be linear, reliable, and easy to establish with common external standard calibrations.

The systems presented in this webinar will emphasize Engineering and Research experiments in laboratories, mini-hoods, experimental reactors, and other development phase experiments. We’ll discuss system robustness and critical interface designs that eliminate common pressure problems and matrix effects from most gas streams. This webinar will not address on-line production systems; however, the principles would apply for gas analysis by MS in general. Learn all about the Diablo 5000B Real-Time Gas Analyzer!

Key Webinar Topics:

  • Fast analysis of gas streams
  • Quantitative gas analysis by MS
  • Full sample analysis while addressing the matrix

Terry Ramus, PhD

Principal,

Diablo Analytical

Over the last 35 years, Dr. Terry Ramus has done research in gas phase analytical techniques with an emphasis on applications of Mass Spectrometry and GC/MS for the industrial and engineering sectors. Application areas include process measurements for Engineering experiments such as catalysis, reactor performance, yield optimization, and scale-up. Experiments include alternative energy, syngas, and pyrolysis. These experiments include hardware and software for analytical systems, including mass spectrometry, chromatography, and other spectroscopic and discrete analytical techniques. For over 20 years now, research has emphasized the characterization of process gases in Real-time with Real-time Mass Spectrometry (RTGA-MS). Other efforts are centered on Pyrolysis-GC/MS for polymer and material characterization characterization and deformulation. During these years, Dr. Ramus has worked as a Principal with Diablo Analytical, Inc. from his laboratory in California. Dr. Ramus received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Oregon State University in 1985.
Scott Hein

Scott Hein, PhD

Founding Principal,

Diablo Analytical

As a founding Principal of Diablo Analytical, Inc., Dr. Scott Hein has focused primarily on scientific software development for data acquisition, instrument control, and data analysis. This work has emphasized the automation of complex Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry applications in the industrial and engineering sectors. These efforts have produced a number of software solutions, including Diablo’s EZReporter software, which has become an industry standard for natural gas analysis reporting, and the MS Sensor software, which provides a process analysis interface for Real-time Gas Analysis by Mass Spectrometry (RTGA-MS). These software tools and associated instruments are used by engineers and researchers for experiments in areas ranging from alternative energy and new fuels development to pharmaceutical process characterization. Dr. Hein received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Oregon State University in 1988.
