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.
