Introducing the NEW Sparklike Handheld NOVA™ from Inagas
5th May 2026
Inagas, the official distributor of Sparklike products in the UK and Ireland, is delighted to introduce the brand-new Sparklike Handheld NOVA™.
Built on over 20 years of proven spark emission spectroscopy technology the Sparklike Handheld NOVA™ is the latest generation of the Handheld device and the next chapter in non-destructive gas measurement for double glazed Insulated Glass Units.
Chris Kemp, Sales Director at Inagas, explains: “Sparklike is a name synonymous with innovation, so it’s no surprise that they have worked to develop the capabilities of the Handheld device. At its core, the Handheld NOVA™ still offers the same things you can rely on from any Sparklike device:
• Non-destructive measurement
• Reliable argon and krypton verification
• Fast measuring time (circa 2 seconds)
“But now, the Handheld NOVA™ is built on a modern software platform with wireless data transfer, QR-code-based traceability, user-configurable limits, and an updated industrial design developed for daily production environments.
“We’re hearing more and more across the industry about the importance of compliance – but it’s not just about having the right processes and procedures in place, it’s about documenting that fact. When it comes to gas testing, the current BS EN 1279: Part 6 legislation recommends carrying out checks on a prescribed percentage of the units produced daily - depending on the production levels - relating to the level to which units are gas filled. Getting the audit trail right and documenting this process is just as important as getting the product right. These changes to the Handheld device have been made as a result of Sparklike’s understanding of how production environments are becoming more demanding. Traceability requirements have increased and the need for trusted data is arguably more important than ever and the Sparklike Handheld NOVA™ can help make that process a lot easier.
Trade-in options available
“If you’re already using an earlier version of the Handheld device as part of your manufacturing process, we’d be happy to discuss with you the options available on trading it in against the purchase of the NOVA. The Handheld NOVA™ is part of a wider range of non-destructive gas measuring devices from Sparklike to satisfy every requirement when it comes to non-invasive gas measurement and we’re sure it will prove extremely popular in the UK and Ireland.”
