NGCD

Next Generation Chemical Detector

Owlstone’s Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) was funded by the U.S. military. It integrates the Owlstone technology into a handheld form factor while maintaining all of the technology's key benefits.

  • Handheld and lightweight
  • Extreme sensitivity
  • Extended CWA and TIC detection libraries
  • Reprogrammable

Overview

NGCD is a powerful and adaptable chemical monitor in a handheld, self-contained unit.

Incorporating Owlstone’s proprietary technology, the instrument offers the flexibility to provide both rapid alerts and extended-duration hazard monitoring. It can be trained to respond to a broad range of chemical hazard scenarios and can be easily integrated with other sensors (e.g., RAD & BIO) and third-party systems. In particular, the NGCD detection database has been expanded to include an extensive range of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs).
