A field-deployable GC-MS for on-site identification of unknown volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Built for emergency response and site characterisation, where a sample that must travel to a laboratory has already cost the decision window it was collected to inform.
Key features
- Combines chromatographic separation and mass-spectral identification in a transportable system.
- Supports full-scan and selected-ion workflows for unknown screening and targeted confirmation.
- Battery-capable operation supports time-sensitive field investigations.
Applications
Built for emergency response, environmental forensics and site assessment teams.
- Emergency monitoring, environmental monitoring, occupational health, public safety, scientific research.
Choosing the right configuration
Choose the inlet or autosampler, column format, detector or ion source, carrier or source gases, vacuum hardware, and data workflow around the analytes and expected sample throughput. ConductScience confirms the complete configuration during method and site review.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures unknown volatile and semi-volatile compounds at the point of collection. It is built for emergency response, environmental forensics and site assessment teams. It is intended for continuous laboratory duty, with a plumbed gas supply, a sited vacuum pump and a defined solvent-waste route.
What measurement principle does it use?
A gas chromatograph separates the mixture in time; a mass spectrometer identifies each component as it elutes. Doing that on site removes the delay that sending a sample to a laboratory imposes.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists fourteen confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include Mass range at (15~550) amu, Waterproof grade at Meets IP55 and Resolution at Better than 1amu.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm carrier and collision gas supply, siting and noise of the vacuum pump, solvent handling and waste routing, and the column and ion-source selection your method needs. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
Carrier and collision gas of the specified purity, a vacuum pump sited for its noise and heat, and the consumables your method consumes. These are not yet listed as products; specify them during quote review.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
