RAID-AFM - Automated Facility Monitor

Bruker Daltonics Inc.

The RAID-AFM is a gas trace detector for the detection of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC’s) and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA’s). It provides secured facility protection and surveillance.

Special features

  • Automatic polarity switching for the detection of TIC's and CWA's by high-speed reversible voltage source
  • Ion mobility spectrometer tube characterized by excellent analytical reproducibility and performance
  • Excellent interference rejection by ammonia dopant
  • Sophisticated internal data analysis with substance identification capability
  • RAID-AFM CBRN Detector ModuleEmbedded web-interface, no additional software required
  • Floating contacts for direct integration into security and protection systems
  • Automatic overload control protects the sensor by switching the gas flow from air sampling to back flushing and back to operation

Applications

  • Early warning tool for civil and industrial applications
  • Long term monitoring of ambient air of endangered areas for the presence of hazardous compounds
  • Integration into air-conditioning and fire safety systems
  • Control of working place pollutants
  • Operator protection for hazardous waste site inspections
  • Operation as stand-alone instrument or several instruments can be networked
