Tiger optics wins “best of show” at Pittcon 2010
Tiger
Optics LLC, a manufacturer of laser-based trace gas analyzers, announced its
Prismatic Multi-Species Gas Analyzer, won the first annual “BEST OF SHOW” award
at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy {PITTCON),
this year.
More
than a decade in development, the new product is a single analyzer that can measure
trace levels of as many as 16 different molecules with Tiger Optics’
field-proven technology, known as Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy
(CW CRDS). The new Prismatic instrument has won top marks for innovation,
environmental “green” attributes, and other cost and quality
considerations.
Tiger’s
latest product also garnered a Gold Award in the Gas Analysis Category. It was
the second such award in three years for the manufacturer in a competition
conducted by Gases & Instrumentation International. Trophies will be
presented during this week’s 61st PITTCON, with about 950 exhibitors
present.
Tiger’s
Prismatic instrument, relies on a novel, patented technique that uses Brewster’s
Angle retroreflector prisms to gain high reflectivity over a wide wavelength
range. This ‘broadband’ capability
allows trace detection of different molecules in one device – a dramatic
advance for both industry and research.
