Where to Find Boreal Laser's Detectable Gases, Applications, and Distributor Support

Updated

Boreal Laser's site organizes this information into three lookup paths: a Products by gas page for detectable gases, a Products by application page for use cases, and a Distributors page for regional sales and support contacts. The site also lists a direct sales and support line (+1.780.488.5173) and an FAQ page. Use the gas page if you already know your target molecule, the application page if you know your process but not the product, and the Distributors page if you need a local quote, commissioning, or service.

Detectable gases: start with "Products by gas"

The site states that its GasFinder instruments and measurement heads use Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to analyze, monitor, measure, and detect gaseous molecules of a specific target gas. It describes the technology as suited to a range of toxic, combustible, hazardous, or greenhouse gases, and points readers to a linked page ("click: here") to see which gases are detectable with laser-based gas detection.

How to use this path:

  1. Open the Products by gas entry from the site navigation.
  2. Find your target gas in the list.
  3. Note which GasFinder instrument or measurement head is associated with it — the site does not publish a single consolidated gas table in the text provided, so the gas page is the authoritative lookup.

Expected result: confirmation that your gas is detectable and a pointer to the relevant product family. If your gas is not listed, treat that as "not confirmed on the site" rather than "not detectable" — ask a distributor before ruling it out.

Applications: start with "Products by application"

The site groups its offering into four application areas, each with its own heading:

Application area What it covers on the site
Fixed Leak Detection Detecting gas "outside of the pipe" — open-path and fixed-point monitoring
In-Situ and Extractive Analysis Monitoring gas "within the pipe" — stack/duct and insertable probes
Transportable Gas Detection Listed as a product category on the site
Mobile Gas Detection Listed as a product category on the site

For the two analysis categories, the site names specific measurement heads that pair with the GasFinder3 analyzer line:

  • Open Path (OPX) Head — with a GasFinder3 analyzer, forms a laser-based open-path detector for industrial leak detection or ambient monitoring.
  • Remote Point (RPX) Probe — with a GasFinder3 analyzer, forms a fixed-point measurement for applications needing fast response or immunity to poisoning/fouling.
  • Stack/Duct (SDX) Probe — with a GasFinder3 analyzer, provides direct, non-contact measurement within a stack or duct for quantitative or feedback control.
  • Insertable (IPX) Probe — listed under in-situ and extractive analysis (description truncated in the source).

A practical way to choose: if the gas is in the open air around equipment, look at OPX or RPX; if it is inside a stack, duct, or process line, look at SDX or IPX. The site's own framing — "outside of the pipe" versus "within the pipe" — is the fastest filter.

Distributor and technical support: use the Distributors page

The site states that its products are promoted, quoted, sold, commissioned, and supported by regionally focused technical sales organizations that often specialize in both analytical and detection solutions. Distributors are listed on a dedicated Distributors page linked from the navigation and from the body text ("Our Distributors can proudly be found here").

What this means in practice: for pricing, lead time, commissioning, and service, the regional distributor is the contact point — the site does not publish prices or an online purchase flow. The site also notes adoption in 48 countries, so check the Distributors page for the organization covering your region before contacting the manufacturer directly.

Direct contact and self-service answers

  • Sales & Support: +1.780.488.5173, listed in the site header and footer.
  • FAQ: a dedicated FAQ page is linked in the navigation, alongside Products, Gases, Applications, Distributors, Contact, Login, and Careers.
  • Contact: a Contact page is available for non-phone inquiries.

If your question is a quick technical or ordering one, check the FAQ first; if it concerns a specific site, quote, or commissioning, go to the distributor for your region.

Quick decision guide

  • "Can it detect my gas?" → Products by gas.
  • "Which product fits my process?" → Products by application, then match the measurement head (OPX/RPX for outside the pipe; SDX/IPX for inside).
  • "Who sells, installs, or services it near me?" → Distributors.
  • "I need a person now." → +1.780.488.5173 or the Contact page.
