MKS Announces Release of Ultra-Fast C-Series Mass Flow Controllers

Delivering ultra-fast response time for high precision flow control

Andover, Mass., - October 22, 2019 - MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, today announced the release of its next generation C-Series Mass Flow Controllers.

C-Series Ultrafast Mass Flow Controller

The C-Series Mass Flow Controller uses Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology combined with a fast-acting control valve and MKS' proprietary algorithms resulting in an ultra-fast control time of less than 100 milliseconds. Designed for use with non-corrosive gases and accommodating a wide flow range from 50 sccm to 50 slm, the C-Series is ideal for many advanced markets that require high-precision flow control including, but not limited to, Analytical, Biopharmaceutical and Industrial applications. "By leveraging MEMS technology, we provide the optimum solution for critical process applications requiring precise gas flow control under the most demanding conditions across multiple industries," said Michael Patterson, General Manager of Flow Solutions Products.

The C-Series product is available in several configurations with multiple I/Os, process connections and flow ranges to address a wide variety of customer applications. Find out more about the product here.
