About us

We design, develop and manufacture quadrupole mass spectrometers for advanced research applications and specialist process monitoring. Our mass spectrometers can be used for a wide range of applications.

Our quadrupole mass spectrometers are available in a broad range of configurations for gas/vapour analysis, residual gas analysis, plasma ion analysis, UHV surface science, thermal analysis and surface analysis.

Hiden mass spectrometers are configured for mass ranges:100, 200, 300, 510, 1000, 2500 and 5000 AMU, providing for analysis of the widest variety of volatile organic, metal organic and inorganic compounds. Hiden mass spectrometer control software provides for fast real time data acquisition over 10 decades dynamic range.

Our product range includes:

• Systems for precision gas analysis for real time , multiple gas/vapour analysis with dynamic range from PPB to 100%.
• Plasma diagnostics by direct measurement of plasma ions and ion energies.
• SIMS probes for UHV surface science, and etch end point detection. Integrated complete surface analysis SIMS systems with automated analysis.
• A range of micro furnace reactors for catalyst research for making temperature programmed analysis with techniques including TPO/TPD/TPR and TPRx.
• Our bespoke design service provides for client interactive development of solutions to meet specific requirements.
