New portable mass spectrometer system.


ICx Technologies, a provider of advanced technology solutions for homeland and military security, has unveiled a revolutionary field-portable mass spectrometer spectrometer

Device for detecting and analyzing wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, commonly used for molecular spectroscopy; more broadly, any of various instruments in which an emission (as of electromagnetic radiation or particles) is spread out according to some
 system. The Griffin 450 provides laboratory quality chemical analysis in the field for a broad range of compounds, including explosives, chemical-warfare agents (CWAs), industrial chemicals, and organic compounds (both volatile and semivolatile). Several field-selectable inlet options also accommodate a variety of liquid and gas sample introduction methods, including the Griffin X-Sorber[TM], the world's first handheld smart sampler sampler, sample piece of needlework or embroidery, of silk, cotton, or worsted, for the preservation of some pattern or as an example of the ability of a child or a beginner. In museums and private collections there are samplers dating from as early as 1643. .

The Griffin X-Sorber weighs only 3 pounds, eliminating the need to carry heavier instrumentation into a danger zone. Designed to dock seamlessly to the Griffin 450 for data download, the X-Sorber is easy to use and requires minimal training.

The Griffin 450 also offers an air sample loop for high-concentration gas analysis, a preconcentrator tube for low-concentration gas analysis, and a low-thermal-mass gas chromatograph gas chromatograph

ICx Griffin also has released System Software Version 3.0 (GSS (storage) GSS - Group-Sweeping Scheduling.  3.0), whose additional features allow users to intuitively control any of the Griffin line of mass spectrometers, including the new Griffin 450 system. GSS 3.0 offers an interface that changes according to according to
