FROG-4000
Defiant Technologies’ FROG-4000 is a hand held system for detection of volatile organic compounds in water, air, and soil. The system incorporates a micro preconcentrator that is coated with a nanoporous material. The micro preconcentrator has an integrated heater for thermal desorption. The micro GC separates target analytes and also has an integrated heater for temperature ramp chromatography. The detector is a miniature PID (10.6 eV). Chemical name and concentration can be viewed on FROG-4000’s LCD display, or the user may watch the chromatogram real time on a computer.
