Portable measurement of ambient air
The instrument can detect virtually any compound with an absorption band in the infra-red region from 2.5um and 14.5um, which includes the vapours of many important industrial solvents
Shown for the first time at Pittcon 2004, the new InfraRan specific vapour analyser from Wilks Enterprise is a low cost, portable instrument for the detection and measurement of gaseous contaminants in ambient air Easy-to-use menu-driven software and factory calibration enable even non-technical staff to make fast, accurate measurements with minimal training

Specific vapour analyser for sulphur hexafluoride enables non-technical personel make fast, accurate measurements down to below 1ppm, with minimal training
Models are available for the specific detection of single gases or of multiple components (up to four), with measurement ranges from ppm to percent.
The instrument can detect virtually any compound with an absorption band in the infra-red region from 2.5um and 14.5um, which includes the vapours of many important industrial solvents, anaesthetic gases and refrigerants.
Light weight (8.2kg) and internal (rechargeable) battery power make the InfraRan truly portable, so the instrument is ideal for on the spot occupational health applications such as sick building syndrome or the detection of anaesthetic gases in ambient air.
Typical initial response time is 5-10 seconds, with stable concentration values obtained in less than a minute.
With no need for calibration standards and the only consumables a zero air supply and particulate filters, cost of ownership is kept to a minimum.
UK distributor for the InfraRan is Quantitech.
