ASBPro
ASBpro, developed in Australia by PAS Scientific
In asbestos detection, time, accuracy and certainty aren’t just helpful—they’re critical. Whether you’re protecting workers, the public or the environment, you need a handheld asbestos analyser that delivers results you can trust without the wait, the cost or the complexity.
Because You Need Answers On Site, Right Now
The ASBpro integrates advanced spectroscopy and intuitive design to deliver rapid, on-site asbestos identification.
No more sample preparation, chasing reports, or manually matching photos to results. Scan, store, and sync everything from asbestos IDs to images, in one seamless system.
- Detects asbestos in seconds with unmatched accuracy
- Captures evidence with onboard photo tagging
- Fits in your palm and weighs just 150g
- Delivers full reports straight from the controller
- Rechargeable with long battery life
- Connects to the internet for effortless remote transfer (requires mobile data or Wi-Fi access)
Key features
- Detects six regulated asbestos minerals (chrysotile, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, actinolite, amosite) using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy — non-destructive and on-site.
- Results in under 10 seconds.
- Lightweight, palm-sized device (150 g) designed for field use.
- On-board photo tagging so you link the scanned material with an image, creating traceable evidence.
- Generates full reports directly from the unit and supports remote data transfer (mobile data/WiFi) so your results are ready to share.
- Rechargeable, long-run battery designed for real field deployment.
Applications & Use Cases
This analyser is built for a wide range of industries where asbestos might be present and immediate decisions are required:
- Waste management & recycling: screen incoming loads to minimise contamination risk.
- Building inspections, demolition and refurb programmes: detect asbestos-containing materials before disturbing them.
- Customs, shipping and automotive industry: check imported goods, components (e.g., brakes, gaskets) for asbestos before they move through supply chains.
- Emergency response: rapid screening in sites affected by fire, flood or structural collapse where asbestos risk is elevated.
Benefits for you
- Faster decision-making: Instead of waiting days for lab results, you get answers on-site in seconds.
- Improved compliance and safety: Capture evidence (images + scan results) for audit trails, reducing risk of unseen asbestos exposure.
- Cost savings: Cut down on sample prep, lab fees and downtime. Field screening means less dependency on off-site testing.
- Portability & ease of use: Field-ready, lightweight and simple – minimal training required to begin screening.
- Traceability and reporting: Built-in report generation simplifies your workflow from detection to documentation.
