Water quality is a crucial factor and currently, it is a big issue in many regions of the world. Fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants are harming the quality of drinking water, and water analysis devices have become critical tools in the ongoing battle to protect and improve the quality of life. One such device is the Hiden HPR-40 DSA MIMS. The Hiden HPR-40 DSA can monitor gas species in liquids at the sub-parts per billion (ppb) level with a standard mass range of 200 amu for dissolved species. Exceptionally precise, this bench-top membrane inlet mass spectrometer is uniquely suited to gas monitoring applications where extremely low levels of concentration monitoring are critical to success.
