HAPSITE® SMART

HAPSITE® Smart is a portable gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) that allows rapid on-site detection, identification, and quantification of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) and chemical warfare agents (CWAs). It delivers laboratory-quality results in the field with minimal setup, providing critical data for life, health, safety, and mission decisions within minutes.

GC/MS remains the gold standard for positive identification of organic chemicals, offering unmatched accuracy among analytical techniques. HAPSITE Smart combines this precision with an intuitive interface, pre-programmed methods, and field-ready design.

Key Features:

  • Rapid, confirmatory results directly comparable to laboratory GC/MS data

  • Pre-programmed methods for quality data in minutes with minimal input

  • Graphical display of chromatograms, spectra, instrument status, and calibration curves

  • Weather-resistant and easy to decontaminate

  • Built-in GPS records exact sampling location with date/time for legally defensible data

  • Microtrap concentrator for detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at parts-per-billion/trillion levels

  • Optional accessories for enhanced field versatility: HAPSITE Headspace Sampling System, SituProbe, HAPSIM training probe, Thermal Desorber
