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.
