Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific is an American supplier of scientific instruments, laboratory equipment and analytical services, formed in 2006 by the merger of Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific. Thermo Electron was founded in 1956 by George Hatsopoulos. Thermo Fisher is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, and its industrial brands include Niton handheld XRF analysers and Ramsey belt scales.

Seven Star LLC lists the Thermo Fisher MAX-iR FTIR gas analyzer and sources it, with the options a project specifies, for plants and laboratories in Oman and the GCC that need to measure several gas components with one instrument.

The MAX-iR FTIR gas analyzer

An FTIR analyzer passes infrared light through a gas cell and records the whole absorption spectrum at once. Each compound absorbs at its own wavelengths, so one measurement can report many gases together, including species that simpler single-gas analyzers cannot separate. Thermo Fisher describes the MAX-iR for in-line process monitoring, batch sampling, gas purity certification, emissions testing and ambient air monitoring, and catalogs separate configurations for those duties.

Ordering a Thermo Fisher gas analyzer: what we need

Tell us the gases to be measured and the expected range of each, the background gas, sample pressure, temperature and moisture content, and whether the duty is process, emissions or purity testing. Add the supply voltage and any area classification. We check the configuration against the manufacturer’s documentation and provide the datasheet with the quotation on request.
