Airborne Molecular Contamination

Airborne Molecular Contamination AIMS detector was developed by MaSaTECH in order to detect pollutants at concentration below 100 ppt. The instrument is excellent for 24/7 Ammonia monitoring, Amines monitoring, Total Acids monitoring as well like for selective acids (HCl, HF, Cl2…) monitoring.

Ammonia detection by AMC-AIMS

gc detector
Ammonia 0.9 ppb = IMS response 0.16 nA

Ammonia 0.18 ppb = IMS response 0.13 nA
ion mobility spectrometry gas chromatography
Ammonia concentration 0.36 ppb

Ammonia concentration 0.18 ppb
gc detector
Linear fitting for measured data 0.18-30 ppb

Linearity 99.7% LOD < 100pp

The AMC-AIMS can distinguish even small deference in Ammonia concentration.
T10<120s T90<120s

Acids detection by AMC-AIMS

The SO2 is frequently used as a reference for Total Acids monitoring. Due to various ionization efficiency of each acid are other acids detected by IMS referred to term Total Acid. The AMC-AIMS can be used for Total Acids monitoring or for selective acids monitoring.
