Buying Gas and Vacuum Cells

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

More general product categories: spectroscopy equipment

More specific product categories: multipass gas cells

Related product category: photoacoustic gas sensing equipment

Gas cells are used in laser spectroscopy to measure the absorption spectra of gases. These cells serve as spectral references or for gas analysis in various applications. Multipass gas cells increase the interaction length between the laser light and the gas sample, enhancing sensitivity. There are also vacuum cells, used in an evacuated state, e.g. for avoiding nonlinear effects in air.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Read our article on best practices for purchasing.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying gas and vacuum cells. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for gas and vacuum cells. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.
