The QED analyser utilises the latest UVF technology to provide immediate and accurate results. To ensure the accuracy and robustness of the mobile testing lab, representative QA/QC samples are submitted to a UKAS accredited lab for comparison analysis. The QED analyser:

​

• Identifies the type of petroleum hydrocarbon in the sample. In fact the QED can identify up to three different hydrocarbons in one sample in a single 2 second analysis.

• Gives you the hydrocarbon concentration.

• Provides accurate results for Coal Tar, total BTEX, GRO, DRO, TPH, sum 16 PAH and BaP in one 2 second test.

• <1 mg/kg detection limits in soil for most petroleum fuels and oils.

• 0.005 mg/kg detection limits in soil, Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)

• 0.002 mg/kg for BaP, which is more than adequate for the 0.01% limit for BaP at the 1000 mg/kg TPH lower limit for UK waste management purposes.

• Natural compound identification and subtraction. The QED easily identifies and subtracts background organics, such as leaf mould or biofuels. These are incorrectly reported by GC as Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, (TPH,) entailing unnecessary expenditure on soil removal and remediation.

• Will generate a result within 5 minutes of taking the sample – Up to 15 samples per hour throughput.
