Product Spotlight

Probe enables monitoring of in-process vacuum

Hiden Analytical’s in-process vacuum monitor, the HALO 201 MBE, was initially designed for application to the molecular beam epitaxy process and is suitable for use in difficult process conditions. Many vacuum-related processes operate at high- or ultra-high vacuum levels that represent a difficult environment for quadrupole mass spectrometers, but the sensitive ionisation region of the HALO 201 MBE probe is completely shrouded to inhibit random surface deposition. With a mass range of 1–200 amu, the probe can be used for measuring all common gasses and contaminants, and features operating modes for vacuum species identification, leak detection, and process trend analysis.
