Specialized FTIR hardware and patented analytical software incorporated in all of KASSAY’s RAM2000 FTIR spectrometers allow gas chemicals to be continuously monitored more accurately than conventional methods.
Challenges Solved by RAM2000 Technology
SPECTRAL NOISE
• FTIR Challenge: FTIR detector circuits are susceptible to picking up mechanical and electrical noise from various sources.
• RAM2000 Solution: ADC circuits in the RAM2000 product line use military technology designed to filter and digitize signals in a linear mode. The pre-amplifier circuit delivers an amplified signal while minimizing detector noise. Additionally, power supplies and cables are better shielded and grounded.
THERMAL STABILITY
• FTIR Challenge: FTIR signal strength may fluctuate due to changes in ambient temperature. Fluctuations can lead to inaccurate identifications, poor MDLs, or incorrect concentration values.
• RAM2000 Solution: RAM2000 optical benches are available with optional temperature stabilization to maintain internal alignment and eliminate voltage drift. Additionally, VCSEL lasers are temperature stabilized.
ANALYTICAL ALGORITHMS
• FTIR Challenge: FTIR algorithms must be able to handle rapid changes in water vapor, CO2, or other atmospheric chemicals.
• RAM2000 Solution: RAM2000 Software (RMMSoft) utilizes patented algorithms to ‘lock’ interferogram ZPD and micro-shift to detect water peaks. An adaptive background filtering (ABF) algorithm aggressively handles concentration changes in atmospheric chemicals.
RAM2000 Awards & Accreditations
The design team for RAM2000 was honored with the Presidential Recognition Award for successfully completing one of only 133 projects on time, within budget, and as per the scopes of the project.
RMMSoft™ was honored with the prestigious LISTnet award (Long Island Software Award) for its powerful GUI interface to the RAM2000 and SEI-compliant development process.
