Trusted, accurate nitrogen analysis for your process

Why measure nitrogen?

Nitrogen is the primary component of atmospheric air, making up about 78% of total content. It is widely used in fertilizers, organic compounds, and pharmaceutics. As a result, many industrial processes need to measure nitrogen, particularly those in the medical gas sector. Nitrogen can be isolated from other air components in an air separation unit (ASU), requiring measurements for both purity assay and as a contaminant in other products such as oxygen and argon. The properties of nitrogen make it useful as an inerting environment in manufacturing, particularly in the electronics and semiconductor markets.

Our solutions

The Chroma and NanoChrome are both capable of measuring trace nitrogen in background gases, and trace impurities in background nitrogen, making them highly flexible solutions for nitrogen gas analysis.

While the Chroma is a versatile nitrogen gas analyzer, the NanoChrome is specifically designed for semiconductor applications, with the ULTRA model delivering industry-leading lower detection levels for impurities. Additionally, the NanoChrome and NanoChrome ULTRA can form part of a complete single-supplier solution for the analysis of semiconductor gases.

The Plasma is specifically designed for trace-level continuous monitoring of nitrogen in argon, helium, or both, and is used in a range of applications including air separation units.

In addition, Servomex offers the PureGas getter-based purifier for light hydrocarbon measurements. This reduces outlet impurity levels for nitrogen and other compounds to low parts-per-billion (ppb) levels or below, removing impurities by forming irreversible chemical bonds.
