Chemical identification with the FLIR Griffin G510's GC-MS technology
The Griffin G510 is a next-generation chemical detector and identifier for military, civil, forensic, and environmental responders.
A versatile, dependable, and person-portable GC-MS, the Griffin G510 can aid first responders with decision making, by allowing quick identification of unknown chemical threats, including solids, liquids and vapors. On-scene confirmation gives responders the actionable intelligence needed for timely law enforcement and remediation, as well as ensuring the safety of the public.
The Griffin G510 is completely self-contained in a 16 kg box, including the vacuum system, carrier gas and batteries, and is IP-65 rated, meaning it is dust-tight and spray-resistant. Its 9-inch touchscreen can be operated whilst wearing full PPE and displays a simple user interface.
G510 GC-MS key features include:
- Completely self-contained, including vacuum system, batteries, and carrier gas – no service module needed.
- Accepts all phases of matter (liquid, solid, vapor).
- Uses a standard split/splitless liquid sample injector, just like a benchtop GC/MS
- Standard vapor sampling probe with rapid-response survey mode
- Analyzes unknowns via a lab-standard linear quadruple mass analyzer.
- Quickly confirms chemical identity using the industry standard NIST library.
- Large, 9” touchscreen can be operated in the Hot Zone while wearing full PPE.
- Decon-ready with IP65-rated enclosure that is dust-tight, spray-resistant.
G510 GC-MS applications include:
- Drug analysis, including fentanyl and its derivatives
- Fire forensics investigation – detection and identification of accelerants
- Explosives detection and identification, including vapors
- Hazardous material detection and identification, including toxic industrial chemicals (TICs)
- Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) detection and identification
