Example Problem: Ion
mobility spectrometers and other highly sensitivity detection
systems can be used to locate the source for solvent and noxious or
toxic vapors. Finding a significant source of solvent fumes in a
residential area might, for example, indicate an illegal drug lab.

Solution: For many solvents, a KIN-TEK LFH Trace Source™ Refillable Permeation Tube can be used at ambient temperature as a test source to validate instrument operation. For more quantitative work, FlexStream™, 491MB or portable Span Chek™ generators are used to generate the desired concentration(s). |
Example Problem: Trace detection of explosive chemicals for airport security requires
sensitive equipment that must be checked frequently with dopant
standards. Validating instrument operation in the field is crucial. To do this,
officers and security personnel need a ready source of test mixture.
Solution: KIN-TEK Trace
Source™ dopant permeation tubes are used to
validate instrument operation. KIN-TEK dopant permeation tubes are
compatible with GE Trace Detection Systems, TSA airport security
systems, etc. Dopants include Phosgene, DMMP, Phosphine, Arsine,
Chlorine, HCN, etc.
