Applications


  • Semiconductor Clean Rooms: The Nitrolux®-100 is extensively deployed in semiconductor fab clean rooms for quality assurance by measuring ambient ammonia at sub-ppb levels, which is crucial as PPB level ammonia can degrade the quality of high-performance integrated circuits.

  • Environmental Monitoring: Other members of the Nitrolux® family, such as the Nitrolux®-200 and Nitrolux®-1000, are used by environmental protection agencies for ambient ammonia monitoring. High levels of ambient ammonia are harmful to human health and are precursors for PM2.5 formation.

  • Autonomous Operation: The Nitrolux®-100 operates autonomously with no operator attention necessary, making it ideal for continuous monitoring applications.

  • Data Reliability: The sensor features a Linux-based operating system for high reliability and uses solid-state memory for crash-proof data storage, with options for extended data storage capabilities.

  • Data Analysis: The device provides full-color graphical displays of ammonia levels over time and location, with options for GPS integration and programmable alarm settings.
