Mass Flow Controllers & Meters: A comprehensive product line including thermal mass flow controllers (SLA Series, SLAMf Series, GF100 Series, GF120xHT Series), Coriolis mass flow controllers (Quantim® QMC Series), and pressure-based mass flow controllers. The GF120xHT Series represents a high-temperature thermal mass flow controller, operational from 45°C to 150°C, specifically supporting solid and liquid precursors in semiconductor manufacturing. The Quantim® QMC Series, a third-generation Coriolis flow meter, is designed for very low-flow gas and liquid measurement and control, providing true mass flow, accurate density, and multivariable outputs. The SLA Series Biotech MFCs are engineered for bioprocessing, featuring a high turndown ratio, certified materials (USP, FDA, ADI-free O-rings), and long-term stability.MassFlowControllers&Meters:Acomprehensiveproductlineincludingthermalmassflowcontrollers(SLASeries,SLAMfSeries,GF100Series,GF120xHTSeries),Coriolismassflowcontrollers(Quantim®QMCSeries),andpressure-basedmassflowcontrollers.TheGF120xHTSeriesrepresentsahigh-temperaturethermalmassflowcontroller,operationalfrom45°Cto150°C,specificallysupportingsolidandliquidprecursorsinsemiconductormanufacturing.TheQuantim®QMCSeries,athird-generationCoriolisflowmeter,isdesignedforverylow-flowgasandliquidmeasurementandcontrol,providingtruemassflow,accuratedensity,andmultivariableoutputs.TheSLASeriesBiotechMFCsareengineeredforbioprocessing,featuringahighturndownratio,certifiedmaterials(USP,FDA,ADI-freeO-rings),andlong-termstability.
