Electronic Sensor Technology

Surface Acoustic Wave/Gas Chromatography (SAW/GC) provides a cost-effective system for collecting real-time field screening data for characterization of vapor streams contaminated with organic compounds. The Model 4100 SAW/GC can be used in a field screening mode to produce chromatograms in 10 seconds. The 4100 consists of a portable gas chromatograph, a Surface Acoustic Wave Detector and a dynamic particle/vapor sampling head. The SAW detector is an integrating mass detector (micro-balance) with zero dead volume and the ability to quantify chromatography peaks at the picogram level, a dynamic range of more than 8 orders of magnitude, and peak widths measured in milliseconds. Measurement speed and accuracy make the instrument well suited to rapid screening of soil samples. The components are shock mounted into a rugged field portable fiberglass shipping case.
