zNose®’s GC/SAW system uses a three-step process:
How the Systems Works
Sample is collected
and pumped through a capillary tube that
pre-concentrates vapors in a
trap while maintaining helium flow through the GC column to the SAW detector.
The rotary valve injects
trapped vapors into the helium carrier gas.
The released vapors travel
through the column and
the SAW detector
measures their
retention time and
frequency.

zNose® renders both accuracy and precision!
zNose® typically achieves 1-2% variation (RSD) in
readings.
SAW sensor determines drinking water levels by smelling the headspace vapors above a water
sample.
GC/SAW system can calibrate, using a single
mixture of standard analyte concentrations.
zNose is validated by U.S EPA and other governing
agencies.
