The technological facilities of the Wrocław Technology Park has received new, top-class, highly specialized research infrastructure. It will include a UHV system for helium isotopes, which allows the detection of trace amounts of gases in mixtures.

The UHV system serves for testing natural helium enriched in the He3 isotope. It is an extremely rare isotope, making up less than one millionth of natural helium, and the demand for it is increasing worldwide. In the future, the He3 isotope will be used to produce clean energy. The fusion reaction “He3 + D” allows to get the most and purest energy (pure – no radioactive waste) in the fusion process.

The Park’s UHV system is equipped with a QMS quadrupole mass spectrometer manufactured by Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH, HiQuad 700 model, with a range of up to 128 AMU (Atomic Mass Unit) and a detection level below 1 ppm.
