Reduces the time to obtain reliable analytical results, comparedto conventional laboratory testing, helping to make quickdecisions on site in a Pollution Emergency
Mobile Lab Specifications for Environmental ApplicationsVehicle with enough interior space: 2.3 meters interior height. Enough space in laboratory bench for two operatorsVehicle drivable with a ordinary license (B1 type). No need of an expert driver for moving aroundExternal electrical connection, Integrated Power Generator and UPS for full autonomy and protection.Air conditioning in the roof and ventilation systems. Thermal insulation in walls and floors, with non‐slip plywoodGas supply system: helium cylinder or hydrogen generator. Automated exchange of bottle for maximum autonomy Furniture with anti‐vibration systems for analytical instruments (not required for MSD 5975T). Security system with locks for different equipment / furniture.Integrated weather station to measure : wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature, pressure, GPS data, etc., installed on top al a pneumatic telescopic mast very easy to deploy from the vehicle interior.. No need to jump on the roof anymore.On‐line monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by TD‐GC/MSD 5975T. Possibility to rum alternatively canisters and bags as well as up to 100 TD tubes automatically.Calibration with liquid sampler, pressurized gas cylinders or spiked TD tubes (loading ring)Integrated continuous multiparameter analyser for analysing Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Particles (PM10 & PM2.5)Optimized control software for remote operation via PC or iPad

Extended list of compounds (Example: more than 170 VOCs)On‐line SamplingShort analysis cycles (~20min) that permits nearly continuous analysis sequencesLow detection limits (pptv~ppbv)Meets criteriaIntegrated LTM (Low Thermal Mass), enables very fast separation for 170 VOC’sAutomatic & Rapid DRS report generation for calibrated and unknown compoundsContinuous monitoring and logging of weather parameters allows correlation
between atmospheric conditions and analytical results
Advantages of a TD‐GC/MSD based Mobile Laboratory for Air Toxics Analysis
Mobility in case of emergency• Instruments with anti‐vibration design and test for transportability• Ready to start to work immediately without hardware modifications
Versatility of applications (air, water & soil samples)• Extended list of compounds in a very fast single analysis ( 8 minutes)• Hyphenated Analytical Techniques for a high range of sample matrices• Multiple possible sample introduction techniques (Liquid sampler, TSP, TD,
P&T, HS, SPME…)
Minimum response time• Easy to start up of all systems (Quick start up protocols)• First analytical result generated in < 100min. since arrival with the Mobile Laboratory• HTML Results table automatically generated after each analysis
