The MAX-iAQ system offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring outdoor and working air, even in environments with high humidity. The fully automated data collection system enables the monitoring of up to 100 different compounds from 20 sampling/sampling locations simultaneously (multiplexing).

The heart of the MAX-iAQ system is the MAX-iR FT-IR gas analyzer. The MAX-iR standard analyzer is usually equipped with a DTGS type detector, which enables the acquisition of the entire mid-infrared spectrum and the quantification of almost any organic or inorganic compound, including chlorinated and fluorinated gases, with a detection limit of up to tens of ppb. For even lower detection limits for target applications such as ethylene oxide monitoring, the MAX-iAQ system can be put directly into action with the patented Thermo Scientific™ StarBoost™ technology. With the StarBoost function and the Peltier-cooled MCT detector, the lowest possible detection limits can be obtained - less than 1 ppb! Both Configurations of the MAX iAQ FT-IR System are designed to operate for a minimum of 10+ years with minimal maintenance and are a perfectly reliable solution for 24/7/365 outdoor and workplace air monitoring.

Of course, the MAX-OXT module can be integrated and automated into the MAX-iAQ system, and the measurement can also be integrated with other types of analyzers in the overall set-up using analog connections: analysis of oxygen, total sulfur, VOC (using e.g. FID), etc. Everything is controlled by the MAX-Acquisition and MAX-Analytics software package for spectrum measurement, data archiving, creation of calibration models, non-stop on-line data measurement, Modbus™ TCP/IP, etc. The device is in regulatory compliance with several regulatory methods, including US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) M320, ASTM D-6348, etc.
