The FLIR Griffin G510 is a completely self-contained GC-MS, including batteries, carrier gas, vacuum system, injector, touchscreen, and heated sample probe.

FLIR Griffin™ G510 Portable GC-MS www.FLIR.eu/G510 Chemical Identifier Editorial Doubting the Future of the INF Treaty The Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty), signed in Washington at the end of 1987 and effective from 1 June 1988, is regarded as one of the milestones in bringing about the end of the Cold War. Under the Treaty, the USA and the then Soviet Union undertook to remove all ground-based nuclear and conventional missiles, rockets and their launchers in the short range (500 to 1,000 kilometres) and intermediate range (1,000 to 5,500 kilometres) cat- egories. In the event of a war, it would have been the Europeans in particular who would have borne the brunt of these systems, and they accordingly welcomed the Treaty with considerable relief. At the same time, this put the lie to all the rumours that had been doing the rounds just a few years before, suggesting that the NATO double-track decision of 1979 was simply a cun- ning ruse to step up the threat: it had promised nothing less than stationing US medium-range rockets in Europe while simultaneously negotiating for their complete elimination - a pledge which was redeemed with the INF treaty.
