Typical Chromatogram

FID Chromatogram

Key Features and Benefits

  • Approximately a 15 minute analysis time.
  • Analyzer can be configured dual train to double the sample throughput.
  • Analyzer can be configured for both liquid and gas sample analysis.
  • The backflush peak can be tailored to specific samples (e.g. C8+ or C6+ backflush composite peaks).
  • Gas chromatograph can be configured to contain additional applications.
