At TechStar, we believe great measurement starts with the right technology and ends with solutions that are reliable, scalable, and supported long after startup. That’s why we’re excited to expand our analytical portfolio through our representation of Process Insights, bringing together a broad range of proven analytical technologies.
Analytical Measurement Technologies Now Available Through TechStar
Rather than focusing on a single instrument, this partnership strengthens our ability to support multiple analytical measurement technologies, each selected to solve specific process challenges across gas, liquid, moisture, energy, and environmental applications. Below are just a few of the solution technologies now available through TechStar:
ALUMINUM OXIDE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Aluminum oxide sensors are a trusted standard for dew point and trace moisture measurement in gases and non-aqueous liquids. These technologies are widely used in natural gas, refining, petrochemical, and specialty gas applications where moisture control is critical to quality and reliability. 
Featured solutions include:
-
COSA XENTAUR LPDT Series Dew Point Transmitters foR fixed-mount monitoring
-
COSA XENTAUR XPDM Series Portable Dew Point Moisture Meters for field verification and troubleshooting
These solutions integrate seamlessly into TechStar’s broader moisture measurement offerings, providing dependable performance in both permanent and portable use cases.
BTU / CALORIMETRIC ANALYSIS
Accurate heating value measurement is essential for energy management, custody transfer, and combustion optimization. BTU analyzers help operators understand fuel quality in real time—reducing inefficiencies and supporting compliance.
A key solution in this category:
-
COSA 9800 CXI Calorimeter, delivering continuous BTU and gas composition insight for demanding process environments
This technology aligns with TechStar’s focus on actionable energy measurement, not just data, but insight you can use.
MASS SPECTROMETRY
For applications requiring high-speed, multi-component gas analysis, mass spectrometry remains one of the most powerful analytical tools available. These systems are ideal for complex process monitoring, research, and troubleshooting where precision matters.
Featured solution:
-
EXTREL Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, offering real-time analysis across a wide range of industrial and specialty gas applications
With Process Insights mass spectrometry solutions, TechStar can support customers needing fast response times and deep analytical visibility.
NIR SPECTROMETERS
Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy enables non-contact, real-time process analysis without the need for reagents or sample conditioning. These analyzers are widely used to monitor concentration, composition, and quality in both gas and liquid streams.
Featured solution:
-
ClearView DB VIS-NIR Dual-Beam Photometer, designed for stability, repeatability, and continuous process insight
NIR technology complements TechStar’s process optimization strategy by enabling faster decisions directly at the process line.
OPTICAL SPECTROMETRY
Optical spectrometry techniques provide powerful insight into chemical composition using light-based measurement principles. These technologies are well-suited for continuous, non-invasive analysis in harsh industrial environments.
Featured technologies include:
-
FTIR / FT-NIR for multi-component gas and liquid analysis
-
NIR-O solutions for optical-based concentration and composition monitoring
-
Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) laser technology solutions to deliver ultra-sensitive, drift-free trace gas measurements
These spectrometry technologies support TechStar’s analytical solutions by delivering accurate, real-time data without disrupting the process.
TOTAL SULFUR & NITROGEN ANALYSIS
Sulfur and nitrogen compounds play a major role in emissions control, catalyst protection, and regulatory compliance. Accurate total sulfur and nitrogen measurement is critical in refining, petrochemical, and fuel blending applications. 
Featured solutions:
-
SLA / SGA Total Sulfur & Nitrogen Analyzers, designed for continuous monitoring and compliance-driven environments
These analyzers strengthen TechStar’s emissions and compliance-focused analytical capabilities.
WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS
Water quality is a growing priority across industrial operations—from wastewater treatment to boiler feed and process reuse. Real-time organic measurement allows operators to respond quickly and protect downstream systems.
Featured solution:
-
