Request Information
The MOCON - Baseline Series 9100 Gas Chromatograph equipped with a photoionization detector (PID) provides a quick, cost-effective quantitative analysis of IPA and acetone in air at levels in the ppb and sub-ppb range with no preconcentration necessary. Competitive analytical approaches that require preconcentration exhibit much longer analysis times, are much more costly, are more complex, and suffer from poor reproducibility.

Isopropanol and acetone are detected and accurately quantified to sub-ppb levels in under 3 minutes with ethanol producing no interference. The instrument is sensitive to below 5 ppb for both IPA and acetone employing MOCON - Baseline’s standard PID, and < 0.1 ppb using MOCON - Baseline’s high sensitivity PID.
Unit of Measure

Applications

N/A During semiconductor fabrication processes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted primarily from diffusion, and cleaning during wet-etching processes. The most common organic solvents used in semiconductor cleanroom environments, i.e., solvent stations, are isopropanol, and acetone. Residual presence of these solvents can be detrimental to both production yields and to worker health.
