The PeroxyAcetylNitrate, Aldehydes, and Ketones (PANAK) is an in situ airborne gas chromatographic system. It is a three-channel gas chromatography used for the measurement of low-ppt levels of peroxyacyl nitrates (PANs), aldehydes, and ketones. It measures PANs, alkyl nitrates, and tetrachloroethane using electron capture detectors (ECD) in channels 1 and 2. It measures selected aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and nitriles using a photoionization detector in channel 3. Channels 1 and 2 have a sampling frequency of 2.5 minutes, while channel 3 has a sampling frequency of 5 minutes.
