Griffin™ G410
The FLIR Griffin 400-series GC/MS products provide chemical identification and is equipped with a rugged, internal shock isolation system that is tested to MIL-STD-810G standards. They are built to operate in mobile labs, reconnaissance vehicles, deployable lab containers, and other portable platforms. Interchangeable sampling tools differentiate each GC/MS model. The Griffin G410 contains an integrated standard injection port. It accepts sample introduction tools like the PSI-Probe™, syringe, SPME fiber, headspace, and autosampler injections.
