Product Note M126-08/10
A139 ALPHA-G:
ALPHA with Long Path Gas
Cell
Using the ALPHA-G gaseous samples can be analyzed by
FTIR transmission spectroscopy down to the ppb-level. The
system contains the ALPHA sampling module with inte-
grated 4.8m long path gas cell. A heating jacket for the gas
cell is optionally available allowing temperature control from
ambient temperature to maximal 200°C.
System specifications
ALPHA FT-IR spectrometer with QuickSnap(TM)
sampling module with integrated long path gas cell

This gas cell is ideally suited for demanding industrial,
research or process applications where ruggedness and du-
rability are of critical importance. The precision fixed optical
alignment assures best optical performance. Its rugged and
reliable construction is designed to never need additional
alignment - to provide ease of use and convenient service-
ability.
