Q42 Rackmount-2U O2 / CO2 Analyzer

NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

Introducing the Q42, the next generation of Quantek analyzers. This analyzer utilizes the latest in microprocessor-based sampling, and comes equipped with an advanced TFT display, smart charging, onboard data collection, advanced pump functions, and EasyCal calibration controls.

LONG LIFE, STABLE SENSORS

The Model Q42 incorporates the latest fast response O2 and CO2 sensors, which allows results to be obtained in 15-25 seconds for rapid spot checks. The oxygen sensor is rated for 5 years of life, which is far better than the competition. Other analyzers utilize cheap oxygen sensors which may last 18-24 months.

EASY SAMPLING METHOD

The Q42 series sample inlet and outlet are located on the rear panel for ease of access.  By default, both fittings are 1/8” stainless steel Swagelok.  Other inlet/outlet configurations are available upon request.  Some examples include standard luer fittings, ¼” Swagelok fittings, or a sample probe.  We can recommend or customize fittings to give the most seamless sampling experience for whatever system you may have.

USER FRIENDLY, ACCESSIBLE CONTROLS

Navigate the user-friendly interface, and you can adjust the oxygen calibration, pump time, CO2 calibration, and other parameters on the fly. There’s no need to reboot and no need to warmup – it’s as easy as it gets.

ABOUT THE SENSORS

The infrared CO2 sensor utilizes NDIR technology for maximum stability and has a theoretically unlimited lifespan.  It has no moving parts, no consumables, and is housed in a compact optical cell. The sensor responds to CO2 only.
The electrochemical O2 sensor life is typically 4-5 years, unlike other analyzers with an electrochemical sensor that last 1-2 years. When required, replacement is easy and inexpensive.  Both sensors are unaffected by high levels of background gases such as nitrogen.

WARRANTY STATEMENT

The Model Q42 is backed up with a two-year warranty, twice the industry standard.
Our service team responds quickly to the repair needs of our customers, and repairs and calibrations are conducted in our advanced facility in Massachusetts.
