Introduction
2.1 HAPSITE ER System
HAPSITE ER Chemical Identification System is designed to identify and quantify
volatile organic compounds from the parts-per-million (PPM) to the parts-per-trillion
(PPT) level. HAPSITE ER is a portable unit that collects and analyzes samples in
the field using self-contained gas canisters and a chemically maintained vacuum
source, while operating on battery power. The HAPSITE system can be operated
with the front panel touchscreen or with a laptop computer. Near real time data will
be displayed on the front panel touchscreen for immediate review.
NOTE: This manual is specifically for the HAPSITE ER. The terms “HAPSITE” and
“HAPSITE ER” are used throughout this manual to refer to the HAPSITE ER.
2.1.1 HAPSITE ER and Accessories
HAPSITE ER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Also known as the Analytical Module (AM).
HAPSITE ER contains the Gas
Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer, a
vacuum chemical pump for portable
operation, control electronics, battery, gases,
keypad, display, and a battery charger
Air Sampling Probe . . . . . . . . . . . . Consists of a hand-held sampling device, a

turbo-molecular high-vacuum pump,
roughing pump, battery-charger and
power supply
Headspace Sampling System . . . Also known as the HSS, an accessory for the
HAPSITE ER, used for testing volatile
compounds in liquids and solids in vials
SituProbe™. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SituProbe is a water sampling device that
provides portable field testing of water
samples without the need for vials
