A flow regulation device for volatile and semi-volatile sampling onto adsorbent media is provided. The flow regulation device includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, a secondary inlet that is open to the ambient, a real time flow meter, a controller in electronic communication with the flow meter, and a three-way valve. Gas is drawn through the adsorbent media, into the inlet, and then to the outlet by a vacuum source joined to the outlet. The controller is configured to: (1) actuate the three-way valve to put the vacuum source in-line with the inlet; (2) continuously monitor the flow of gas through the inlet and calculate the time necessary to sample a pre-set volume of gas; and (3) after the pre-set volume of gas passes through the inlet, actuate the three-way valve to put the vacuum source in-line with the secondary inlet.

A multi-channel headspace extraction needle is provided. The extraction needle includes an inner needle tube, a sealed connector, and a needle rod and an outer needle tube respectively installed on a top portion and a bottom portion of the sealed connector. The sealed connector includes a first conduit and a second conduit connected with a tube lumen of the outer needle tube. A sealing layer is disposed between a bottom tube wall of the inner needle tube, which extends into the tube lumen of the outer needle tube, and a sidewall of the outer needle tube. The sidewall of the outer needle tube includes a first through-hole and a second through-hole respectively disposed above and under the sealing layer. The first through-hole is connected with the tube lumen of the outer needle tube and the second through-hole is connected with a tube lumen of the inner needle.

Provided are an odor sniffing device (11) and a vehicle-mounted security inspection apparatus for a container (1). The odor sniffing device (11) includes a primary sampling front end (116), which has a vent adapter (116-1) having a shape matching with a vent of the ventilator of the container, so that when the primary sampling front end (116) fits with the ventilator, the vent adapter (116-1) and the vent generally cooperate to achieve fluid communication. The vehicle-mounted security inspection apparatus (1) may perform imaging inspection and chemical inspection simultaneously.

A gas-detecting apparatus includes a pump module connected to a first input and a second input to intake air, a sensor module including at least one unit sensor configured to output a sensing signal in response to gas present in the air, and a control module configured to detect the gas using the sensing signal. The control module controls the pump module to intake second air by opening the second input when gas is detected in first air introduced through the first input, and determines that gas is detected when a concentration of gas detected in the second air is lower than a concentration of gas detected in the first air.
