Vapor Analysis Equipment for Rent or Purchase

Vapor analyzers identify and quantify airborne chemical vapors so you can screen exposures, investigate sources, and document conditions before worker risk becomes unmanageable.

RAECO Rents vapor analyzers are fully calibrated and our team can help confirm the right instrument, sensor, and response factor for your target compounds, with fast turnaround and phone support so you can get reliable field readings quickly.

When is a Jerome mercury analyzer needed instead of a PID or general vapor meter?

Use a Jerome when you need selectivity for mercury at low concentrations. PIDs and general vapor meters respond to many compounds and can't distinguish mercury from other volatiles, so they're not reliable for compliance-level mercury work.

What's a common mistake with Jerome mercury vapor readings?

Moving the probe too quickly or inconsistently across a surface, which causes readings to drop before the instrument can respond fully. Use a slow, consistent scan speed and let the instrument stabilize between locations.

What setup choices matter most for good Jerome mercury readings?

Allow adequate warm-up and stabilization time, use a consistent scan route and speed, avoid temperature extremes that affect sensor response, and document background readings at the start of each session. Cross-contamination between high-concentration areas can also affect readings if the instrument isn't cleared.

What's the first decision when renting mercury vapor analysis equipment: J405 or J505?

The J405 is the standard choice for most mercury vapor screening and routine work. Choose the J505 when you need lower detection limits—typically for post-remediation clearance or regulatory compliance where the threshold is near or below the J405's range.

What should I confirm before renting a Jerome J405 or J505?

Confirm your detection limit requirement and the applicable clearance standard or action level. If post-remediation clearance at low levels is the goal, confirm whether the J505 is needed. Also confirm whether you need a printer or data logging cable for documentation.
