Background on the System
In 2022, AirLogics installed a brand new state-of-the-art field gas chromatograph into their upgraded Classic 2.0 perimeter air monitoring system. Through the development of the Classic 2.0 system, AirLogics realized the flexibility and practicality of this new GC - and are now making it available to consultants for field vapor intrusion screening applications.
Gas Chromatograph
COMPACT SIZE
The NovaTest P100 is only 36 x 30 x 15 cm and 7 kg, but it integrates the auto-sampling unit, carrier gas system, separation unit, detection unit and a rechargeable battery within a single system.
CONVENIENT ACCESSORIES
The sampling needle, disposable filters and sampling tube are provided for versatile on-site sampling approaches, and a carrying case for the P100 and all the accessories further improves the mobility.
Outstanding Performance
GOOD RESOLUTION
The NovaTest P100 adopts microfluidic design and the patented NovaPID with MEMS technology. It has nearly zero system dead volume, giving sharp peaks regardless of sampling concentration and good peak shape with less tailing.
REPRODUCIBLE
Great reproducibility with RSD of retention time less than 1 % and RSD of peak area less than 25 % (under same testing environment), complying with most EPA recommended GC methods;
300+ THEORETICALLY DETECTABLE COMPOUNDS
The 10.6 eV NovaPID detects both inorganic and organic compounds. It is capable of detecting 300+ compounds theoretically without consuming them.
2 DETECTION RANGE OPTIONS
The NovaTest P100 has 2 models for either trace detection from 1 ppb to 1 ppm or higher concentration detection from 200 ppb to 200 ppm.
External Compatibility
Sampling From A Container
The sampling needle is can be attached to the sampling port of the NovaTest P100 when sampling from a container like a sampling bag or a canister.
Filtering Dirty Samples
The PTFE filters are used to filter the dust or large particles in the air samples.
Sampling From A Gas Line
The PTFE connection tube can be attached to the sampling port of the NovaTest P100 when the sample comes from a gas line.
Air Quality Analysis
19 targeted compounds in TO-14 chemical standard:
TO-14 calibration mix standard Chemical concentration: approx. 50 ppb each Sampling time: 0.5 min

Soil Vapor Testing for Precautionary Monitoring of Off-Site Receptors | AirLogics, LLC
Vapor intrusion testing is a critical tool for identifying potential environmental risks at or adjacent to contaminated Sites. At AirLogics, LLC, we offer advanced solutions designed to investigate vapor intrusion. Our innovative tools and techniques allow you to evaluate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may, intrude into surrounding properties.
Through vapor intrusion testing, we provide essential insights into soil gas behavior and help you address any potential risks before they affect receptors. This process is an important part of any construction or environmental remediation project to maintain community safety and prevent potential environmental contamination.
What is Soil Vapor Testing?
Vapor intrusion testing is the process of sampling and analyzing the gases that migrate from contaminated groundwater and then into soil gas and then into the indoor air. This technique is primarily used to detect the presence of harmful chemicals such as chlorinated solvents and BTEX compounds that might pose a risk to receptors. Using our cutting-edge equipment, AirLogics, LLC provides accurate data in real-time, enabling environmental consultants to take the appropriate action.
Vapor intrusion investigations are required by many state environmental agencies for contaminated sites.
The Role of Rapid Screening Tools in Soil Vapor Testing
At AirLogics, LLC, we recognize the importance of fast, accurate data during soil vapor investigations. Our rapid screening tool is designed to provide real-time data during soil vapor testing, allowing you to make quick, informed decisions. This tool can test a variety of compounds and deliver reliable results in just a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
With this cutting-edge tool, our clients benefit from fast results without compromising the accuracy or quality of the data collected. The speed and efficiency of our tools help reduce fixed-base laboratory analytical costs and reduce overall investigation durations, keeping your project on track and ensuring compliance with environmental regulatory timeframes.
Chlorinated Solvents and BTEX Field Testing with Field Gas Chromatograph
For more specific testing, AirLogics, LLC utilizes the field gas chromatograph (GC) to conduct chlorinated solvents field testing and BTEX field testing. This advanced technology allows for precise detection of these harmful substances in the air, helping to identify any contamination that may be migrating off-site.
-
Chlorinated solvents field testing: Our field gas chromatograph is capable of detecting a wide range of chlorinated solvents to prevent contamination of the environment.
-
BTEX field testing: Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are volatile compounds typically found in petroleum products. Our field testing equipment quickly identifies and quantifies BTEX levels, ensuring that any potential risks are addressed promptly.
Both of these advanced testing methods are supported by our field gas chromatograph, a state-of-the-art device that ensures reliable, reproducible results with MINUTES. This equipment is portable and equipped with a 5-hour battery for on-site testing, making it easy to deploy in the field. If there is on-site power available, the instrument can last as long as it is plugged-in.
How Soil Vapor Testing Works?
The process of soil vapor testing with AirLogics, LLC begins by collecting samples from various locations on or near your project site. Our team of experts utilizes the field gas chromatograph to measure and analyze the concentration of pollutants in the soil vapor.
1. Sample Collection: Your team prepares the site for sample collection, by installing vapor pins or perforations in the slab. Our team assists your site personnel in collecting soil gas samples using our field GC. Samples are taken at strategic points around the site, typically near boundaries or areas of concern.
2. Real-Time Data Analysis: The AirLogics field gas chromatograph provides instant feedback on the concentration of VOCs and other hazardous gases in the soil vapor. Results are sent directly to your team’s tablet, allowing for immediate action if any dangerous levels are detected.
3. Decisions in the Field. Your team can make decisions in the field with regard to what direction to advance to collect additional samples.
4. Fixed-base Lab Analysis. From there, your team can decide which locations will require the collection of samples for fixed-base laboratory analysis.
