Griffin™ G465
The FLIR Griffin G465 is the most flexible transportable GC/MS (Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer) system available for mobile and forward deployed labs, reconnaissance vehicles, and other portable platforms. Like the Griffin G460, the G465 features an integrated split/splitless injector and universal sampling port. The addition of a heated sampling line enables survey mode for near real-time vapor threat identification. Industry-leading chemical matching techniques provide high-confidence results in complex environments and eliminate data interpretation in the field. Intuitive user controls, on-screen guidance, and simple data presentation expedite decision making for field operators. The Griffin G465 provides the ease of use and intelligence needed to perform real-time countermeasures that protect public safety.
