How can I customize my P100?
You can customize both the structure of P100 and the built-in methods, but you will need to let us know your application or target compounds. We install particular columns and/or the detector at your request or base on the information you provided. We can also generate a built-in method with programming parameters of your target compounds all preset.
How many compounds can be included in a built-in method?
For the default built-in method, the Air Quality has 21 target compounds. But with a customized built-in method, you can have as many compounds as you want.
Is P100 able to detect both organic compounds and inorganic compounds?
Yes. Generally speaking, you can use it in any application as long as the organic compounds and inorganic gases can be separated and have ionization potential within 10.6 eV.
What's the detection limit of P100?
Sub-ppb (Benzene).
How do I prepare sample for P100?
If you want to analyze an air sample in a field, you don’t need any sample preparation at all. Simply point the sampling port into the area of your desired sample, the P100 will pump in the air sample automatically when you click on “Start”. But you have to make sure that the P100 is turned on and connected to your laptop.
If you want to analyze a gas sample in a container, attach the sampling needle onto the sampling port of the P100 and insert the needle into the container.
If you want to analyze water sample in a field, you will need a purge and trap system prior to the P100. Contact us for our PNT system.
How do I determine the sampling time?
The minimum sampling time is 6 seconds, or 0.1 min due to the structure of the P100. And here are some recommendations for sampling time based on estimated sample concentration: 5 min (minimal) for 1 ppb or less, 2 ~ 5 min for 1 ppb ~ 2 ppm, 2 min (maximal) for 20 ppm or above.
Do I need daily maintenance for P100?
No. The P100 will run auto cleaning after each test which saves you the maintenance work. But you can still run “Deep Clean” if you want for further cleaning of the system.
Do I need a filter prior to P100?
Normally you won’t need a filter. But if there are large particles like dust or PM2.5 in the surrounding area, a filter is highly recommended.
When shall I charge my P100?
When only 2 out of 5 battery indication lights are on, you’d better charge it.
What carrier gas should I use? How pure should my carrier gas be?
Helium. 99.99% or purer.
Where can I attach the carrier gas?
There is a carrier gas cabin on the P100 for the installation of small disposable cylinder containing helium.
How long can the disposable carrier gas last?
Generally, in P100 system, a full cylinder of helium can support up to 72 hrs of tests.
Can I travel to another city or another country with P100?
Yes. The battery is permitted to be carried on board within the nation. However, a carrier gas cylinder is not permitted. You will need to vent and uninstall the gas cylinder before you check in at the airport.
What system should my computer have?
NovaSoft, the software to control P100 on a computer, requires a Win10 system. IOX system is temporarily not supported.
