New! Hand-held PID-based GC

Image
Our new Model PID GC 121 was introduced this month at the New England local section American Industrial Hygiene Association ( NEAIHA ) all-day conference and at the American Industrial Hygiene Association ( AIHA ) Fall Conference.  This photoionization detector (PID) based hand-held analyzer uses a gas chromatograph (GC) to separate a variety of toxic chemicals present in the workplace at chemical manufacturing facilities, refineries, plants, emergency response situations, laboratories and all other operations that require monitoring of processes for industrial hygiene worker health and environmental safety applications. The PID GC 121 is a highly customized analyzer. There are over 250 chemical compounds that can be detected using a PID. When coupled with a GC, this PID can deliver specific direct reading results for similar chemical compounds within the same detection range. This would eliminate the need for the common costly gas detection consumable items like detector tube
