Description

Product overview

  • microF is a portable formaldehyde analyzer for continuous, real-time HCHO measurement in industrial environments and air quality studies. It combines a photomultiplier detector with microfluidic sampling to provide low detection limits and fast temporal resolution.


Technical specifications

  • Detection limit:
    • < 1 ppb (default settings)
  • Detection range:
    • 0–300 ppb (other ranges available on request)
  • Measurement:
    • Detector: PhotoMultiplier
    • Temporal resolution: 1–120 s
    • Typical response time: 10 minutes (default)
    • Operating gas conditions: 5–40°C; 20–80% RH; atmospheric pressure
    • Calibration: gaseous formaldehyde
  • Sampling:
    • Method: continuous flow
    • Gas flow rates: default 250 mL/min (0–1 L/min range) and alternate default 20 mL/min (0–30 mL/min range)
    • Liquid flow rate: default 20 μL/min (0–400 μL/min range)
    • Supply connections: 1/8″ for gas; 1/16″ for liquid
  • Instrument supply:
    • Power input: 100–240V AC ±10%; 47–63 Hz
    • Output: 15V, 100W
    • Battery: Lithium-Ion, autonomy > 2 h
    • Power consumption: max 75 W
  • General:
    • Dimensions: 32×28×15 cm (with bottle holder) / 32×36×15 cm (without bottle holder)
    • Weight: 6.5 kg (including bottle holder)
    • Operating conditions: 0–40°C; 20–80% RH
    • Storage: 0–40°C; 0–85% RH
    • Display: 7″ TFT touchscreen, 800×480 resolution
    • Fluoride liquid autonomy (100 mL): 80 hours


Mobility and accessories

  • Carrier case with integrated pre-cut foam for accessories
  • Included consumables and accessories: DNPH tubes and rings, power supply and cable, particle filter, filter strainer, microporous tube, 100 mL bottles with storage and analysis caps, 1/8″ and 1/16″ stainless caps and ferrules, Teflon tubing and ferrules, bottle holder, stylus


Advantages

  • Compact dimensions and moderate weight for field deployment
  • Rapid setup: deployment in under 5 minutes
  • Operable from mains power or internal battery
  • No carrier gas required
  • Low sample flow rate extends filter lifetime and reduces reagent use


Real-Time Formaldehyde Monitoring

  • Continuous, real-time measurements with time resolution down to a few seconds
  • Detection limit: < 0.3 μg/m3 (typical)
  • Designed to minimize interferences according to specifications
  • Direct gaseous formaldehyde concentration measurement


Analysis programming, monitoring & data logging

  • Color touch screen with standard and expert modes
  • Sequence programming and near real-time result display
  • Temperature and relative humidity monitoring
  • Data logging for quality control and export via USB or Ethernet
  • Complementary PC software for data processing and maintenance management


Issued from French academic research

  • Developed from CNRS and Strasbourg University research
  • Patented microfluidic device
  • Supported by EU and national innovation programs
