Starring role for FTIR gas analyser
July 1st 2009 Agas analyser from environmental
instrumentation
company, Quantitech, has
played a starring role in a major
History Channel series. The company
was contacted by Wild Dream Films,
who were looking for instrumentation
to measure toxic gases to
feature in an episode of a series called
Ancient Discoveries. Following
consultation with Quantitech's Dr
Andrew Hobson, the production
company used a Gasmet DX-4030 gas
analyser to measure the toxic gases
emitted from smouldering materials,
in an episode which recreated the
Roman siege of Ambracia in 189BC.
The DX-4030 is a new analyser
based on tried and tested Gasmet
technology, providing field-usability
and high levels of analytical
performance. The unit employs FTIR
(Fourier Transform InfraRed
Spectroscopy) analysis, producing
almost instantaneous readings for
multiple compounds across a wide
measurement range that extends to
sub-ppm levels.
The DX-4030 is more commonly
used for the analysis of workplace
and process gases in applications as
diverse as contaminated land,
chemical spill response and industrial
hygiene. More articles from Quantitech Ltd: |
