Portable handheld gas chromatograph for detecting VOCs and other contaminants in air, soil, water
The EN-SCAN 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 eliminates 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 4.5 to 15 minutes, it provides actionable data before delays escalate into regulatory fines, environmental damage, or loss of community trust.

Rapid Benzene Compliance
Instantly screen specific "hot spots" for Benzene and aromatic hydrocarbons, ensuring real-time adherence to strict OSHA Method 12 exposure limits.
verified
Confined Space Clearance
Validate air safety before entry by quantifying specific solvent vapors like Toluene and Xylene per NIOSH 1501 protocols without waiting for lab results.
water
Rapid Groundwater Screening
Screen purge water or groundwater for BTEX immediately using headspace analysis, providing instant feedback comparable to EPA 8021B screening protocols.
propane
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Assessment
Quickly delineate soil contamination boundaries during tank removal, using field headspace methods to approximate EPA 5035A/8021B preparation and analysis.
science
Phase II ESA Screening
Accelerate Phase II Environmental Site Assessments by instantly screening soil and water borings, reducing the amount of expensive lab samples.
