Griffin™ G460
The FLIR Griffin 400-series GC/MS products provide lab-quality 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. Every Griffin 400-series GC/MS contains an industry standard injector port. The Griffin G460 model includes an additional integrated universal sampling port, providing direct air sampling capability, while also accepting plug-and-play samplers like the Griffin X-Sorber and Purge and Trap. Griffin GC/MS systems detect and identify explosives, drugs, CWAs, TICs, environmental pollutants, and other chemicals.
