Chem-ID
The chem-ID is a parts-per-billion gas analyzer that characterizes chemicals using two-dimensional gas chromatography. The chemical signatures of gases and out-gassing liquids and solids are measured and recorded in the field. Each chemical signature contains information on the individual compounds and concentrations of the chemicals present in the sample. The chem-ID automatically performs the functions needed to precisely measure a chemical sample, produce and record the two-dimensional chromatograph signature of the sample, and clean itself in preparation for the next test.
