Spectrex Corporation


The Present Product Line

Over the past 36 years the company has developed and is marketing a wide range of unique environmental analytical instruments.

  Explosives Detector
EX-DETECT®, Model XD-2, Explosives Detector is a new, innovative, hand-held (1.5 lbs), rugged, fast (30sec.) colorimetric screening device for many different explosives and related energetic decomposition products, i.e., nitro-, nitrato-, and nitramine-, type explosives.
  The Vreeland Spectroscope
The VREELAND DIRECT-READING SPECTROSCOPES give rapid qualitative and semi-quantitative elemental analysis. After thirty-six years on the market it is still selling and there are over 1,000 in the field. It is used widely in the geological and mining industries and for teaching mineralogy and inorganic chemistry at the Community College and University level. It was invented by John Hoyte's uncle, Dr. Frederick Vreeland while in his late eighties. He was also the holder of over 50 patents including the 1906 patent for the basic oscillator.
  Air Sampling Pumps
PAS-500
For environmental monitoring, Spectrex manufactures pumps for OEM applications, such as the CEA high-sensitivity, formaldehyde analyzer, as well as Personal Air Samplers for both low flow, VOC monitoring and high flow asbestos, lead and gravimetric monitoring. The PAS-500 is a little bigger than a pen, fits in the shirt pocket and will run for 40 hours on one 9V alkaline battery. It was used extensively in the World Trade Center clean-up.
  Gas Monitors
SXC-20
For VOC and OZONE Detection. The SXC-20 VOC Monitor combines the multi-gas detectability of the heated metal oxide chip with the portability of the Spectrex personal air sampler design and data logger.
Ozone Monitor
The AZ21ZX ozone monitor provides digital read-out and detects ozone down to 0.02 ppm.
  The PC-2200 Laser Particle Counter
Counts and sizes particles from 0.5 to 100 µm in diameter in both flowing and in-situ liquids. Unique from all other particle counters on the market, it provides sealed calibration standards and does not require the sample to be pumped through a flow cell. It is extremely easy to use and can be directly interfaced to any Windows-based computer.Spectrex is the present assignee of Patent # 4,623,252 covering this specific, unique design for in-situ particle counting.
  The PS-50 Partascope Viewer
Consists of a small, battery-operated "Black Box," 6"x 6"x 7", which internally generates two parallel, scanning laser beams. Samples of water, oil or other liquid are introduced by beaker or bottle. Through Fraunhoffer Diffraction particles in suspension, as small as 1µm diameter, are made visible directly to the human eye. The two laser beams permit comparison of a sample with standards, or of pre- and post-filter samples.
  Water / Oil Analysis Service
This division of Spectrex Corporation operates a laboratory at the Redwood City facility and provides particle size and counting for all types of liquids. Customers are impressed by our "next-day" turn around. Results are faxed, mailed or sent as a PDF file and are displayed as a 34-channel histogram and in the form of one of a wide range of standards, such as ISO, NAS, SAE and NSF. The Total Suspended Solids Value is also shown.
