Solutions for Low Concentration Calibration for High Vapor Pressure Gases The challenge is that permanent gases or air pollutants that cannot be liquefied, such as O2, NO, CO, N2, CH4, NOx, etc. must be used in the gas form for calibration and are unstable in static mixtures at trace concentrations (ppm and lower). Using a permeation tube emitting at a very low flow rate for dilution to ppm and lower concentrations requires precision flow, pressure, and temperature control devices. Dynamically generating the gas mixture as it is needed eliminates issues created from storing the mixture. LEARN HOW https://lnkd.in/gHCHkiBA

KIN-TEK Analytical's Danet Vrazel will be presenting at LCGC Virtual Symposium: Advances in Gas Chromatography. Join Ms. Danet Vrazel, KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. at 12:30 PM EST on Monday December 9, 2024. Danet will be presenting "Understanding the Practicality of Permeation Tubes for Precise Gas Analysis". Learn more about Permeation Tube Technology and how and why picking the right permeation tube is important to get the most accurate calibration for your application. 

A breath analysis medical technology that is a quick and non-invasive test for detecting diseases is currently being developed using trace gas concentrations as biomarkers. Fluctuations in gas concentrations of various metabolic gases can determine if a person is healthy, at risk, or sick. For example, measuring Hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, Nitriles, and Ketones in human breath can diagnose lung cancer but precise quantities of test gases are required to aid in biomarker research. KIN-TEK offers the modular and automated FlexStream™ system that can target ppm and lower gas concentrations of over 550 different gas standards. The FlexStream™ system can create ppm down to pptr concentrations with a Base Module and Secondary Dilution Module. Each permeation tube in this system has a dilution range of 1:10,000. This allows a researcher to create a wide range of compounds and concentrations for gas standards. @biomarkers @tracegas @gascalibration

Calibrate for Trace Moisture in Electronic Specialty Gases Challenge:  Semiconductor chips are used in a variety of electronics such as smartphones, military equipment, vehicles, and healthcare equipment. The production of semiconductor chips requires the use of high purity Electronic Specialty Gases (ESG) that should be free of trace contaminants such as moisture. The ubiquitous nature of trace moisture makes it challenging to calibrate and test for contaminant levels in ESG. To mitigate risk of damage to semiconductor chips, the manufacturing process must analyze ESG for ppm to pptr of moisture concentration. The KIN-TEK Analytical customized Span PacTM 61-H2O WeldedX (SP61-H2O-WX) moisture permeation system calibrates for trace moisture content in various ESG. As semiconductor chips are extremely sensitive, any ESG used in the production process is required to be as pure as possible (typically higher than 99.998% purity) or risk damaging the chips. ESGs are used for etching and deposition processes to create the layers and tracks on the semiconductor chips. A few examples of an ESG are Hydrogen (for Purging), Ammonia (for Deposition), and Chlorine (for Etching). Depending on the application, analysis of impurities such as moisture may be from ppmv down to pptr concentrations. Calibration must be done with a moisture standard that is isolated from atmospheric moisture but adds a known measured amount of water vapor to the test gas. How to Calibrate for trace moisture content… Solution:  KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. offers a customized orbitally welded moisture generator (SP61-H2O-WX) that switches between carrier gases easily. Using the standard addition technique, trace moisture calibrations are done by spiking the carrier gas with an accurate moisture concentration to yield a known standard beyond baseline values. Integrated third party software available on a user supplied PC provides an extra feature of real time graphical interface and data logging of mass flow over time. Changing carrier gases is done by choosing the predetermined ESG from a drop-down menu and physically connecting that gas at 60 psig. NIST Traceable standards for mulitpoint calibration and validation is done easily with the SP61-H2O-WX or SP61-H2O-WSDX (with secondary dilution capability).

Quality control of petrochemical and specialty chemical product requires strict calibration efforts throughout the manufacturing process. Challenge: Product quality analysis is performed at various stages in a chemical manufacturing process to ensure trace gas contaminants have been removed. To effectively quantify trace contaminant levels, accurate and traceable gas standards are required for calibration and routine verification. Using a static gas blend for calibration of ppm and lower concentrations is risky and can be costly. Dynamically generating the gas standard and having it on demand for every calibration interval is the key to avoiding shifts in product quality. How to Calibrate Accurately in an on-line application... Solution: Active on-line calibration ensures every analysis is accurately quantified resulting in a quality product and efficient process.This can be achieved by directly connecting a GC or GCMS system to an online Gas Standard Generator for regular calibration valve intervals. The KIN-TEK Span Pac™ 61 Industrial (SP61-I) Permeation System provides NIST traceable gas standards at trace concentrations to ensure every analysis is accurately quantified. The sample system of the process GC or GCMS can be directly connected to the SP61-I. Span Pac™ I units are capable of dynamically generating concentrations from sub-ppb to over 1,000 ppm and can be operated manually or by remote station. No static blends or prediluted cylinder gases are required, only a carrier gas and power source with a predetermined permeation tube(s) is needed. The SP61-I is easily mountable in an analyzer house next to the process GC analyzer. The system is housed in a NEMA 4 cabinet and optional “Z” or “X” purge systems allow service in Div II or Div I hazardous atmospheres. Single and dual permeation oven models are available. Applications include ppb calibration of sulfur impurities in propylene, Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) in workplace atmospheres, trace contaminants in process gases, and ppb BTX in air. Dynamically creating gas standards for process GC calibration is more reliable and effective using the Span Pac™ 61- Industrial Gas Permeation system. KIN-TEK will be featuring the Span Pac Industrial Gas Standard Generator during the ATC 2024 Exposition April 15-18th, 2024 at booth #614. We hope to see you there.
