A handheld tunable-diode-laser detector that reads methane at a distance, up to a 30 m standoff. Survey a pipe rack, a meter set or a roofline from the ground — the measurement reaches where the operator does not.
Key features
- Locate methane up to 30 meters.
- High sensitivity and ultra-fast response.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures methane column density at a distance, so the measurement reaches where the operator does not. It is built for gas utility survey and pipeline integrity 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?
Tunable diode laser absorption along the open path between the operator and the target, reporting the methane column density in that path.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The manufacturer's published specification table lists nine parameters for this instrument, and every one of them is reproduced on this page. They include Detection Gas at Methane (CH₄ ) or methane contained gases, Measurement Range at 0~50,000 ppm·m and Alarm Range at 1~9,999 ppm·m. ConductScience transcribed them from the manufacturer's engineering documentation without alteration.
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.
