Portable handheld gas chromatograph for detecting VOCs and other contaminants in air, soil, water
The Labrador Handheld GC brings laboratory-grade gas chromatography directly to the field, allowing environmental professionals to detect VOCs and contaminants in air, soil, and water within minutes. Built for real-time, on-site analysis, it reduces dependence on slow and costly off-site labs, helping teams respond immediately to contamination risks, maintain compliance, and make decisions faster. With parts-per-billion sensitivity and results in as little as 3 minutes, it provides actionable data before delays that escalate into additional equipment rental fees, regulatory fines, environmental damage, or loss of community trust.
