Description

**Nitrolux®-100: Precision Ammonia Detection** The Nitrolux®-100 is the premier offering from Pranalytica’s renowned Nitrolux® sensor family, designed for unparalleled precision in ambient atmospheric ammonia detection. This flagship sensor guarantees a sensitivity of 100 parts-per-trillion (ppt), ensuring highly accurate ammonia measurements even in environments with trace gas interferents. The Nitrolux®-100 has been extensively utilized in semiconductor fabrication clean rooms, where maintaining low levels of ambient ammonia is critical to the production of high-performance integrated circuits. Ammonia levels at the parts-per-billion (ppb) scale can significantly degrade circuit quality, making the Nitrolux®-100 an essential tool for quality assurance in these settings.

The Nitrolux®-100 operates with a direct measurement process that requires no preconcentration or conversion, allowing for continuous monitoring with rapid response times. Its autonomous operation means it requires minimal operator intervention, making it an efficient and reliable choice for long-term atmospheric monitoring. The sensor’s design ensures that it remains unaffected by other ammonium-containing compounds or common atmospheric gases, maintaining its precision and accuracy over extended periods. In addition to its primary application in semiconductor environments, the Nitrolux®-100 is part of a broader family of sensors, including the Nitrolux®-200 and Nitrolux®-1000. These variants offer different levels of sensitivity and have been adopted by environmental protection agencies for monitoring ambient ammonia levels, which are critical to understanding air quality and its effects on human health.

High ambient ammonia levels can contribute to the formation of PM2.5, a harmful particulate matter. As part of an ISO 9001 certified company, Pranalytica ensures that the Nitrolux®-100 meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
