SemiChem Advanced Process Monitor

A wet chemical monitoring system that automatically samples, analyzes, and reports quantitative chemical concentration of critical processes, helping to increase product yields.

Provides the industry's most precise monitoring available to maintain process chemical composition and integrity
Detects process excursions in volatile chemistries before loss of product quality
Transitioning the lab technology to the process allows fast and accurate process control
Maintains a mean time between failures (MTBF) >8500 hours
Provides class-leading chemical concentration data allowing the slurry/chemical distribution system to deliver exact chemical concentration
