HAPSITE CDT Chemical Identification System
The HAPSITE® CDT is a person-portable Gas Chromatograph/Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) . Hazardous response teams use this to identify and quantify narcotics, chemical agents and toxic chemicals on-site to make life, health and public safety decisions. Detects, identifies and quantifies low levels of narcotics, chemical weapons, toxic chemicals and explosives. Delivers results in minutes with reproducible data to complete risk assessments and support informed, on-the-spot decision-making. The handheld, lightweight cartridge-based sampling system enhances portability, and allows the analytical module to stay out of hot zones and allows users to collect data while on the move. The split/splitless injector port allows material sampling with syringe injection.
