Fast Extended Gas Analysis

New developments in GC technology are providing dramatic improvements to traditional GC analytical methods. The Bruker (USA) Gas Chromatograph hardware offers the analyst the ability to fully utilise smaller ID columns to shorten run times. In addition, recently released certification for the Bruker GC allows the safe use of alternative carrier gases such as hydrogen to further improve analysis speed and resolution while saving costs. Updated valve plumbing configurations reduce the number of flow controls and simplify the overall GC hardware, providing improved throughput and analysis flexibility. Using a narrow bore column with hydrogen carrier and rapid column temperature programming run time can be reduced from over 30 minutes to less than 10 minutes with no loss in resolution or detection.
