Hanby TPH Field Test Kit

The Hanby TPH Field Test Kit system is a field-portable method providing rapid analyses down to ppb for aromatic compounds, including gasoline, diesel, PCBs and many others.

The procedure extracts the aromatic compounds from the sample and provides immediate colorimetric identification of the concentration and type of contaminants present. The colour of the reacted extract solution indicates the type of compound and the intensity of the colour indicates the concentration. The results of the test compare consistently from sample to sample over a wide range of concentrations in soil, fresh water and salt water.

The product functions as a self-contained portable laboratory in a rugged, lightweight briefcase. Each kit includes all of the materials necessary for non-technical personnel to use in the field with ease, providing accurate analyses in less than 5 min for petroleum substances in soil and water samples. 

Each field kit includes simple, easy-to-use apparatus, clear written instructions and a DVD of the procedure. A soil or water sample is extracted and the extract is reacted with a catalyst that emits a robust colour indication, much like a household pregnancy test or a pH test for a swimming pool.

Hanby field products are designed to save time and money by significantly reducing the dependence on off-site laboratory analysis. The method provides accurate and fast qualitative and quantitative results while in the field ensuring compliance within approved guidelines.
