Gas analyser is portable and wide
ranging
The Gasmet Dx-4030 from Quantitech is an analyser providing both field-usability and high levels of analytical performance employing FTIR (Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy) analysis.
In the past, field-use instruments for the detection of toxic gases have sacrificed analytical performance for the sake of usability As a result, many portable instruments have merely provided data that is indicative and non-specific, whereas analytical instruments have been difficult or impossible to operate in the field

Portable FTIR gas analysers have become extremely popular with stack testers for mobile emissions monitoring, particularly since the award of MCERTS certification.
MCERTS Certification for Gasmet FTIR
The SIRA Accreditation Service has awarded MCERTS certification to the Gasmet CX-4000 and DX-4000 multi-component FTIR gas analysers for CEMS applications, from Quantitech.
The Gasmet Dx-4030 from Quantitech is an analyser providing both field-usability and high levels of analytical performance.
The DX-4030 employs FTIR (Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy) analysis producing almost instantaneous readings for multiple compounds across a wide measurement range that extends to sub-ppm levels.
No sample preparation is needed; the sample gas is drawn into the analyser module by a pistol-type sample probe, which has a built-in pump and a particle filter.
The whole system is battery operated with an operating time of several hours.
Data collection and display is facilitated by an easy-to-use PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) user interface with the 'Calcmet - Lite' software.
The analyser module and the PDA communicate via wireless Bluetooth protocol and measurements for each compound are displayed literally at the touch of a button.
Commenting on the launch, Quantitech Director Dominic Duggan says "We were responsible for launching the Miran gas analysers in the UK market and it is pleasing to return to the market that we used to lead.
We are very excited about the DX-4030; for the first time users will have a truly portable device that will enable them to measure almost any parameter real-time, without having to know in advance which gas or vapour to test for.
As a consequence, we foresee a great demand for this highly advanced technology in applications such as chemical spill response, industrial hygiene, contaminated land, leak detection and the measurement of anaesthetic gases in hospitals.".
