Perform Package Moisture and Gas Analysis.... On-Site at Your Facility. Introducing a user-friendly test system for monitoring the quality of your hermetic packaging processes. IVA™ Technology was invented by ORS and offers the most accurate and reproducible data in the industry.

The IVA™ system is specifically designed for the quantitative analysis of low molecular weight gases contained in hermetic packages, cavities and other enclosures. The Model 110-s concept integrates automated hardware with easy-to-use icon-driven software. Its design permits routine quality control, failure analysis and research level testing operation as a turn-key analytical system.

The IVA™ 110-s includes a high-performance, quadrupole-mass spectrometer analyzer, a sample-mounting interface and precision hardware. The instrument is also computer-controlled and equipped with exclusive ORS integrated system control software- which provides instrument control, data analysis, data archiving and ease of operation.
