You can request a quote for a custom IRGAS gas analyzer system directly from CIC Photonics through the company’s contact form, by phone, or by email. The fastest and most accurate quotes come from requests that already specify the target gas species, the required detection range, and the environment in which the system will operate, since these details determine which FTIR spectrometer, gas cell, and software configuration the quote should include.
What a Custom IRGAS Quote Covers
Every Integrated Real-Time Gas Analysis Solutions (IRGAS) system is built from three core components: a high-sensitivity FTIR spectrometer, a purpose-selected gas cell, and the analytical and control software that ties the two together. Before pricing a custom system, CIC Photonics needs to know the gas species and concentration range you are measuring, the sampling environment (temperature, pressure, and whether the stream is corrosive or toxic), and whether the system needs to integrate with an FTIR spectrometer you already own or be supplied as a complete turnkey unit.
Industrial and Specialty Gas Applications That Shape a Quote
IRGAS technology was originally developed for parts-per-billion detection of electronic specialty gas impurities, and that background still shapes how custom quotes are built today. Semiconductor equipment manufacturers commonly request configurations tuned to detect moisture content in ammonia, HBr, and other specialty gases used in epitaxial processes. Solar photovoltaic producers often specify a dual gas cell system that reports both percentage-level and high-sensitivity parts-per-billion results from the same process gas. Commercial, research, and government customers requesting specialty gas analysis typically need composition and purity measurements across multiple gas species at once, which affects both the cell configuration and the software package a quote should include.
Why Gas Cell Selection Changes the Price
The gas cell can be a significant variable in a custom quote because its material, pathlength, volume, seals, windows, temperature range, pressure rating, and coupling method depend on the application. CIC Photonics builds cells in 316L stainless steel, with nickel coating or electropolishing available for extra corrosion resistance, and in Hastelloy C22 or C276 for the most demanding corrosive or toxic gas streams. Long path cells, such as the Ranger, which uses a 9.6-meter pathlength, achieve 90 percent gas exchange in two volume changes rather than the usual three, while shorter path options, such as the Scout or Cherokee cells, suit compact installations or applications requiring fiber- optic coupling. The CRV cell can be configured with an embedded cryogenic cooling coil for operation down to minus 40 degrees Celsius and with pressure-rating options up to 135 bar.
Compatibility With Existing FTIR Spectrometers
If you already operate an FTIR spectrometer, a custom IRGAS quote does not necessarily mean starting over. Our solutions are compatible with FTIR spectrometers across the market and are designed for low lifecycle cost and long cell life. Compatibility and expected lifecycle performance should still be assessed for the specific spectrometer, gas stream, and operating conditions. Confirming your existing spectrometer model when you request a quote lets CIC Photonics determine whether a cell and software upgrade can meet your application, or whether a complete turnkey IRGAS system makes more sense.
We have manufactured gas phase chemical analyzers in Albuquerque, New Mexico since 1994, have been ISO9001 certified since 2006, and are currently ISO9001:2015 compliant. If your organization has a vendor qualification process attached to its purchasing decision, mentioning that requirement when you request a quote lets CIC Photonics include the right documentation from the start.
What to Include When You Reach Out
To get an accurate quote quickly, describe the gas or gases you need to measure, the required detection range, the sampling conditions, and whether you already own an FTIR spectrometer or need a complete system built from scratch. CIC Photonics uses this information to recommend the right combination of spectrometer, gas cell, and Specialty Gas Analysis Solution (SPGAS) software for your specific application, rather than quoting a generic off-the-shelf configuration.
