Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces The Thermo Scientific Model 60i Full-Extractive, Multi-Gas Analyzer, Offering Easier Maintenance And Solid Reliability

Franklin, MA – Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, recently announced the new Thermo Scientific Model 60i, a full-extractive, multi-gas analyzer that features non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical filter technology to ensure accurate, precise measurement of up to six gases, including CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and SO2. The Model 60i also accommodates an optional O2 measurement capability using either an affordable electrochemical cell or, when high accuracy and reliability are required, paramagnetic technology. In addition, the unit is designed with built-in safeguards that protect the analyzer in the event of a sample conditioning system malfunction.

The high sensitivity of the Model 60i requires as little as one quarter the flow rate of other instruments, exposing the analyzer and sample conditioning system to less particulate and water for more dependable operation. The Model 60i also possesses a wider dynamic range than other multi-gas analyzers, requiring less configuration. Additionally, the new Thermo Scientific unit is a "smart" analyzer with on-board electronics that are capable of controlling a calibrator, probe controller and heated sample line, reducing space requirements. With this efficient and uncomplicated gas cell and electronic system layout, plus the analyzer's two-piece, slide-apart case and interior fold-down divider panel for rapid component access, the Model 60i is very easy to use, maintain and service. The unit is designed to meet U.S. EPA 40CFR Part 60 requirements.

"The new Model 60i multi-gas analyzer will make our customers' jobs easier and less complicated," said Michael Nemergut, vice president and general manager for Thermo Fisher Scientific's Air Quality Instruments business. "With its fewer components and advanced, built-in safeguards, this state-of-the-art analyzer delivers solid dependability and reliability. Moreover, because its components have already been plant-proven through use in other Thermo Scientific analyzers, customers will enjoy the significant benefits of a solid track record of technology based on our well-established 48i platform."
