The
In-SpectrŽ is arguably the most powerful
underwater measuring machine currently available.
The In-SpectrŽ contains two basic elements:
a quadropole
mass spectrometer
Windows-based
software that both controls the instrument
and collects data from it
The
mass spectrometer detects and measures volatile
organics to 200 m/z (mass to charge) ratio
to parts per billion thresholds. Sample
cycle time is a question of seconds.
The In-Spectr system functions at depths
of up to 200 meters.
Communications
between the mass spectrometer and the software
is via Ethernet connection. The software
provides real-time visual feedback of the
data via a Trends graph, a Spectrum graph,
and a graph. Operational parameters are
also identified. For a more detailed
discussion of instrument capabilities, please

Specifications Document.
