01 · Instrument index
Five systems, one sensing platform.
Detection, sampling and collection tools for industry, government and STEM education. Ask for a specification sheet or a quote on any of them.
Portable gas chromatograph
Field-portable gas chromatography with oven-less heating for fast heat-up and cool-down, sensed by Seacoast’s own sensor platform.
No carrier gas required
Portable toxic vapor collector
Samples with up to four standard thermal desorption tubes, each with its own start, stop and flow profile. An onboard PID can trigger collection.
Combine units up to 32 TD tubes
Liquid collection system
An accessory kit for the SC-V10 pump handle that collects known and unknown liquids, designed for use with heavy gloves in the field.
1 – 10,000 cps · 100 mL – 1 L vessels
Bulk particle collector
A portable powder evidence collection kit: a reusable vacuum handle with single-use nozzles that trap particles into a resealable glass vial.
Hand-held · battery powered02 · Technology
One platform, tuned by the polymer.
Each sensor measures the dielectric constant of an array of selectively absorbing materials. Change the chemically sensitive polymers on the MEMS capacitive platform and the same technology adapts to a new sensing requirement.
The sensors detect vapors of organic compounds and inorganic gases, including VOCs, chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, emission gases, hydrogen and ethanol. Their size, low power draw and low cost make them easy to build into other products.
