Second Sight®, the standoff real time gas detector designed by Bertin Technologies for critical area surveillance and protection against chemical threats, was chosen by the forces of Brazilian civil security to monitor and identify toxic gases during the next FIFA World Cup 2014.

The Second Sight® MS is the perfect solution for critical area surveillance and protection against chemical threats (Chemical Warfare Agent, Toxic Industrial Compounds).

With night and day surveillance capability, Second Sight® MS detects, identifies and visualizes a cloud of dangerous gas in real time at a distance up to 5km.

Assets
• The widest monitored field of view
• Early warning by real-time detection in 2 sec
• CWA, TIC & VOC clouds visualization
• Detection up to 5 km

In order to guarantee maximum security for such a world event, Second Sight has been tested in live demonstration by the first responders, alongside the CBRNe symposium in Sao Paulo, in October 2013.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Gas AnalysisGas analysis is used to measure the composition of gases in various environments, such as industrial processes, air quality monitoring, and environmental studies. Techniques like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used.
