Ion molecule reaction mass spectrometer

MotoSense

The current challenge of developing high-performance engines and catalytic converters with low fuel consumption and ultra-low emissions requires very fast, sensitive and precise emission measurement systems.

The V&F MotoSense serves as a powerful tool for automotive and catalyst researchers to investigate organic hydrocarbons, inorganic nitrogen or sulfur emissions in exhaust gas. Fast response times of 20 msec and a highly dynamic measuring range of 1 to 104enable the accurate investigation of transient processes.
