Scout3: Field Quality Control & VOC Fingerprinting
Scout3 is a high sensitivity compound detection instrument. It utilizes headspace - gas chromatography - multiple photoionization detectors (HS-GC-PIDs) approach.
The instrument can be customized for different GC column, sorbent tube and temperature requirements, allowing a broad range of compounds of focus.
The key aspect of Scout3 is its modularity - it is made up of separate modules. The modules can be swapped in and out allowing for quick system adaptation to testing needs. This means that the off the shelf PID detectors can be replaced by alternative detectors when needed.
Key features
The system is built to carefully balance gas chromatography-like precision with the ease of use of modern day field instruments.
An array of photoionization (PID) sensors for increased specificity, theoretical detection limit of 1 PPB;
Active airflow pneumatics for faster and targeted analysis;
Sample delivery via a static headspace sample flask for testing without specialist training;
Sample delivery via air inlet port for field measurements;
Optional gas chromatography column for increased molecule separation and identification, with programmable heating up to 250C;
Filtration cartridge to be able to run analysis anywhere without specialty gas canisters;
Inlet for nitrogen carrier gas for high precision analysis;
High sensitivity sorbent tube module, reaching down to sub PPB sensitivities;
Patent-pending EPO filing.
