Abstract Description: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are critical markers of environmental health, yet their detection remains challenging due to sampling complexities and reliance on stationary labs. This study introduces the OMNI-22XX product line, a robust, field-deployable, and cloud-enabled analyzer for near real-time VOC monitoring in outdoor environments. Equipped with a microscale gas chromatography (µGC) system, the OMNI-22XX autonomously samples, separates, and analyzes air samples, providing speciated VOC concentrations and actionable insights without requiring consumables or extensive maintenance.
The µGC integrates a preconcentrator, separation column, and dual capacitive detectors into a compact, thermally managed, hermetically sealed enclosure. Data collection and analysis workflows are seamlessly managed via a cloud interface, allowing remote configuration, monitoring, and historical data retrieval. Field-deployable features, such as modular power options, WiFi or cellular connectivity, and rugged environmental resistance, ensure usability in diverse conditions.
This presentation will detail the analyzer's technological advancements, calibration protocols, and performance metrics under variable field conditions. Short case studies covered in this talk cover deployment scenarios which highlight the OMNI-22XX's efficacy in enhancing air quality assessments while reducing operational costs. Attendees will gain insights into integrating such technologies into broader environmental monitoring frameworks to improve public health outcomes, regulatory compliance, and leak detection. This work underscores the role of autonomous technologies in bridging gaps in environmental data collection and accessibility.
