Benefits
- Non-destructive analysis of gases, including homonuclear diatomics (H2, N2, O2)
- Compact, smaller than most wall-mount GCs
- Can replace up to 4 traditional analyzers with a single base unit and 4 probes
- Rugged with minimal utility requirements, no sample transport, and no consumables (columns, valves, gases, pumps)
- Minimal analyzer technician time with maximum technician safety (no toxic gases are transported to the analyzer)
- Measures 4 streams simultaneously for faster multi-channel results
- -20 °C to + 50 °C operating environment
Field of application
