Voyager
The Voyager is a portable GC with rechargeable and field-replaceable batteries that allow up to eight hours of field use, or the option to operate off external AC or DC sources. Voyager's analytical engine is composed of a built-in three-column configuration with an isothermal oven for fast GC analysis for up to 40 factory-programmed EPA listed VOCs. The Voyager has a miniaturized PID/ECD dual detection system. Chromatograms and/or tabular results are easily viewed in the field using the built-in backlit LCD screen. Previously sold under the same name by PhotoVac, which was acquired by INFICON in 2011. The Explorer has replaced this product.
