The PhoCheck has a complete range from simple survey tool up to an ATEX approved Intrinsically safe datalogging parts-per-billion instrument with measurement up to 10,000 ppm Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). All ATEX models are upgradable, so you can adapt your PhoCheck to the work you are doing at any time in the future.
The instrument is used in many industries for the detection of solvents and the monitoring of perimeter emissions and is widely used for land cleanup checking and land remediation, including cleaning up former petrol station sites.
The Phocheck is even used by UK Fire Investigation Teams for Arson investigation.

PhoCheck + - How to Calibrate the PhoCheck Plus
With The PhoCheck it is simple to carry out headspace analysis and check boreholes to determine levels of VOCs on former industrial or petrochemical sites.
The PhoCheck 2000, 3000 and 5000 are also availiable.
