ABB MB3000-CH90 Laboratory Gas Analyzer Features

MB3000-CH90 features

The MB3000-CH90 Laboratory Gas Analyzer is

designed to offer a unique combination of sensitivity, robustness and simplicity. An innovative and

unique interferometer design is at the core of the

instrument. This latest advancement in interferometer technology is extremely modular and compact

and is combined with a patented 24-bit sampling

algorithm for optimal dynamic range. The permanently aligned optics with a Jacquinot stop in the

interferometer output beam ensure an accurate

and stable line shape as well as wavelength and

resolution stability.

As result, the MB3000-CH90 offers an outstanding

spectroscopic performance enabling ppb level gas

analyzes with a standard DTGS detector. In addition,

the analyzer can also be fitted with an optional and

hot-swappable liquid nitrogen-cooled MCT detector

for applications requiring higher sensitivity or

measurement speed.

While the exceptional stability of the double-pivot

interferometer principle ensures reproducible data,

the permanently aligned optics do not require

re-alignment and the interferometer has a lifetime

warranty. The MB3000-CH90 is also an instrument

with minimal cost-of-ownership: the pre-aligned

source module with electronic stabilization does

not require replacement for 10 years, and the diode

laser-based metrology module does not require any

scheduled maintenance. These unique features are

combined with an extensive instrument built-in

health monitoring program.

Whether operating in QA/QC, analytical development,

R&D or formulation laboratories, scientists

and engineers enjoy the ease of use of the

MB3000-CH90. The heated gas cell was developed

by ABB and specifically optimized to match the

instrument optics and provide maximum sensitivity.

It is placed in a universal sampling compartment

and can be easily swapped and replaced by other

infrared sampling accessories, such as an ATR cell

or a microscope. This makes the MB3000-CH90

a very flexible and versatile tool for any laboratory.

The MB3000-CH90 includes by default the software

module Horizon FTIR for spectral acquisitions,

display and management. Several optional modules

can be added to perform specific tasks:

• Horizon Quantify: development of chemometrics

models for quantitative applications

• Horizon Library: spectral library search engine

• Horizon IR Interpretation: automated identification

of functional groups in infrared spectra

• Horizon RX: customisable dashboard interface

for real-time chemical reaction monitoring

• Horizon QA: operator interface for routine sample analysis

• Horizon Security: activation of electronic record

security features for operations in 21CFR

Part11-compliant environment

• Horizon Scripting: creation of custom routines and functions
