A portable flame-ionisation hydrocarbon analyzer with an adsorption preconcentration stage, lowering the reportable floor for ambient and fenceline measurements where the signal sits close to the detector's own noise.
Key features
- Adsorption preconcentration supports low-level hydrocarbon measurements.
- Flame-ionisation detection reports methane and non-methane fractions separately.
- The portable configuration supports ambient and fenceline sampling workflows.
Applications
Built for ambient air and fenceline monitoring teams.
- Widely used for total hydrocarbons, methane and non-methane total hydrocarbon detection in stationary pollution sources and ambient air.
Choosing the right configuration
Specify the target species, measurement range, zero and span equipment, sample conditioning, shelter or rack arrangement, communications, and reporting method as one monitoring system. ConductScience reviews the site and calibration plan before quoting.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures hydrocarbons close to the detector's own noise floor, after adsorption preconcentration. It is built for ambient air and fenceline monitoring teams. It is designed for continuous, unattended operation in a monitoring shelter or cabinet, with periodic zero and span calibration.
What measurement principle does it use?
Flame ionisation preceded by an adsorption preconcentration stage, which lowers the reportable floor where the signal sits close to the detector's own noise.
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 Analysis period at 1~120 s can be set, Ambient temperature at -20 ~ 50 ℃ and Measurement range at (0-20/200/customizable) mg/m³.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm siting and inlet configuration, zero and span gas supply, the calibration interval your reporting regime requires, and the data acquisition and reporting path. 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?
A zero air generator and a multi-point dilution calibrator. Every concentration this analyser reports is measured against its zero. A zero that is not actually zero is a systematic error in every number downstream of it, so the calibration gear is not an accessory, it is what makes the readings defensible.
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.
