(Tiger Optics LLC: Warrington, PA) -- The HALO-500-H2O, designed to measure higher levels of moisture in gases, is gaining notice from gas manufacturers and metrology institutes, reports Tiger Optics LLC, the manufacturer that developed the product at the behest of its London-based representative.

“Any quality gas laboratory that is doing moisture analysis would be interested; the alternatives aren’t really working,” says says Tim Butler, who, as founder and sales director of Process Analyser Systems Ltd., encouraged Tiger Optics to develop the HALO-500 instrument in 2008. Butler subsequently sold the device to The Linde Group’s BOC, the largest provider of industrial, medical and special gases in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

“The HALO-500 looks tailor-made for more applications than even we anticipated,” says Lisa Bergson, Tiger Optics’ founder and chief executive. “Of course, from the outset, we appreciated the need of many quality assurance labs to measure samples of gas that contain 100, 200, or 300 ppm or higher of moisture.”
