One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies recently employed a new portable FTIR multiparameter gas analyser from Quantitech to check air quality in an office for which there had been a number of odour
complaints. Monitoring up to 25 compounds simultaneously, the FTIR was able to demonstrate compliance with occupational safety limits.
Quantitech’s Dr Andrew Hobson, who carried out the test in order to demonstrate the capability of portable FTIR, said, "The Gasmet DX4030 generates a complete infrared spectrum which can be interrogated after sampling to identify hundreds of compounds, thereby substantially reducing the risk of failing to identify a significant compound."
A video demonstration of the DX4030 is available at www.quantitech.co.uk
