The Hanby system is a field portable method for the determination of petroleum related substances. Accuracy, speed and simplicity are fundamental to this groundbreaking technique that was discovered in 1986. The Hanby field test product line provides quanitative and qualitative analysis of soil and water samples in the field.
The Hanby system provides rapid analyses down to parts-per-billion for aromatic compounds, including gasoline, diesel, PCB's 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 color of the reacted extract solution indicates the type of compound, and the intensity of the color 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 Hanby product line functions as a self-contained portable laboratory in a rugged, lightweight briefcase. Each Hanby kit has been designed to include all of the materials necessary for non-technical personnel to use in the field with ease.
The Hanby product line is easy to use and provides accurate analyses in less than 5 minutes for petroleum substances in soil and water samples. Each field kit includes simple, easy-to-use apparatus, clear written instructions, and a video tape of the procedure. A soil or water sample is extracted, and the extract is reacted with a catalyst that emits a robust color indication, much like a household pregnancy test or a pH test for a swimming pool.
