FROG-5000™
The FROG-5000™ delivers lab quality results in the field. In less than 10 minutes, the operator can detect volatile organic compounds in air, water, and soil. The FROG-5000™ portable GC will detect chemicals as volatile as vinyl chloride in addition to semi-volatile organic compounds such as naphthalene. The FROG-5000™ can detect VOCs at sub-ppb levels or at high ppm levels depending on its configuration.
