ECOPROBE 5

Advanced Soil Gas Analyzer for Environmental & Industrial Applications

Discover What Is Hidden in the Soil

The ECOPROBE 5 is a ruggedized handheld device specially designed for in-field use. It delivers highly sensitive and selective detection with sub-ppm performance for reliable soil gas analysis and contamination surveys.

With simultaneous PID (Photoionization Detection) and IR (Infra-red Spectroscopy) measurement, the ECOPROBE 5 enables accurate identification of volatile compounds while minimizing interference from natural biological methane generation in soil.
