Free on-site gas analysis
October 1st 2008 A portable FTIR multicomponent
workplace gas
analyser has been
introduced by Quantitech
and, to enable prospective
users to see the technology
for themselves, the
company's Dr Andrew
Hobson is offering for a
limited period to visit sites
and run tests completely
free of charge.
He says, "In the past,
field-use instruments for the
detection of toxic gases
have sacrificed analytical
performance for the sake of
usability. As a result, many
portable instruments have
merely provided data that is
indicative and non-specific,
whereas analytical
instruments have been
difficult or impossible to
operate in the field."
The DX-4030 is based on
Gasmet technology and
provides both field-usability
and high levels of analytical
performance.
It employs FTIR (Fourier
Transform InfraRed
Spectroscopy) analysis
producing almost
instantaneous readings for
multiple compounds across a
measurement range that
extends to sub-PPM levels. More articles from Quantitech Ltd: |
