ProCeas
Laser infrared multigas spectrometer
The ProCeas® is a turnkey multigas analyzer engineered for real-time measurement of trace-level gaseous contaminants in various applications. Utilizing patented OFCEAS® and LPS® technologies, it delivers interference-free, highly accurate measurements across diverse gas matrices. Its low-pressure sampling design eliminates the need for sample heating or drying and therefore potential gas contaminant losses, and considerably reduces installation and maintenance costs.
Technology: Optical Feedback Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OFCEAS) and Low Pressure Sampling (LPS)
