Ever wondered about the measuring station on top @uniinnsbruck.social.uibk.ac.at.ap.brid.gy ? It's the Innsbruck Atmospheric Observatory (IAO). From the station air is piped to the lab below, where our VOCentinel tracks volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time!

@ionicon-analytik.bsky.social
IONICON is the leading manufacturer of real-time trace gas analyzers based on PTR-MS and powerful time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers. Our instruments detect VOCs at detection limits below 1 pptv in real time, without the need for sample preparation.
#teamspirit It’s pretty rare to find all of us in one place. Usually, the team is scattered between the labs, working in the assembly rooms, or deeply focused on our instruments. During a recent photoshoot, however, we managed to get a lovely team picture. 🤩
Safe the date: IABR Breath Summit 2026 – Tokyo, 1–4 November We are proud to support and participate in the IABR Breath Summit 2026, taking place November 1–4 at the Hitotsubashi Hall in Tokyo, Japan. For the first time ever, the conference will take place in Asia! 🤩
☀️ Scaling up our commitment to renewable energy! We’ve officially expanded our rooftop solar capacity in Innsbruck. Adding to our long-standing use of 100% renewable electricity (mainly Austrian hydropower), more panels now capture the Alpine sun to power our operations directly. 🏔️☀️
Simply breath-taking! Our PTR-TOFMS is capturing the split-second chemistry of human breath in real time, completely skipping the slow, traditional sample prep. Check out the video: youtu.be/yqxPfIhLTo8
