The Model 511 Flame Ionization Portable Gas Chromatograph is used to perform the analysis of vinyl chloride in about 3V: minutes. The detector is linear in response over a concentration range from below 0.1 ppm to over 500 ppm with a minimum detectable level of at least .05 ppm. The design characteristics of the instrument result in a stability which previously was only attainable with laboratory instruments. Consequently, only daily calibration is required. AID can also supply all material for calibration. One of the basic concerns of the hygienist is the possible interferences of other compounds which would lead to erroneous determinations. To our knowledge, there is no chemical interference as indicated in the nomograph pre sented on the front cover. This graph also demonstrates the ease of obtaining additional chemical information from the work environment which may be important in the future. The accompanying chromatogram is of an industrial atmoshere. With proper notation, this graph can be held as a permanent record. Simpie calculations performed directly on the chromatogram allow rapid concentration determinations. Complete training on your instrument is available at our factory. AID application staff is available as a no-cost con sultant. This allows the customer to extend the capability of the instrument to other analytical areas using the basic flexability of the hardware. This instrument may also be used to analyze CSj extracts of charcoal tubes. This^pability, in conjunction with the portability, provides a complete system for environmental health impact studies.

An electrical heater in the assembly provides the energy to flash the collected sample from the absorption tube into the gas chromotograph for analysis. With the system, vinyl chloride can be monitored in concentrations as low as SO ppb. which is well below the one ppm detection standard now being proposed by the government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
