The product provides gas analytics to process lab researchers, managers, and engineers in process development laboratories.
The product employs a magnetic sector analyzer and scanning magnetic-sector technology.
Thermo Fisher Scientific environmental and process monitoring vice president Bob Muscat said that the Prima BT will be the first affordable mass spectrometer configured for lab-based process development.
"By offering the only scanning magnetic-sector gas analyzer in this market, Thermo Fisher Scientific has evolved the marketplace, enabling online analysis to replace off-line assays helping to fill in the gaps of process understanding," Muscat added.
An improvement over the floor model Thermo Scientific Prima PRO Process Mass Spectrometer, the new product has a smaller footprint and consists of a 16-port rapid multi-stream sampler (RMS), and a 6-port automatic calibration manifold.
The company says that the Prima BT will provide complete analysis of multiple, complex gas streams for tracking dynamic process variables.
The Thermo Scientific Prima BT Mass Spectrometer provides 20 million translations between face seal replacement.
