A versatile, open-path FTIR gas analyzer, the AM Air Monitoring System, can detect, identify and measure a wide range of compounds simultaneously, within seconds of startup. Analysis is performed onsite through a continuous sampling path of up to 1,000 m. Whether the application is battlefield chemical-warfare-agent analysis, civilian hazardous-event response, industrial stack or fence-line monitoring and analysis or environmental research, the AM System can provide continuous, unattended, near realtime detection at parts-per-billion to percent levels for hundreds of chemicals. Weighing approximately 40 lb and measuring just 8 by 14 by 8 in., the compact interferometer module is easy to transport and can be powered by a 12-V car battery. — Midac, Costa Mesa, Calif.
