Typical Chromatogram

FID Chromatogram

Key Features and Benefits

  • Gas chromatograph can be configured to contain additional applications.
  • Cryogenic cooling may be used to separate carbonyl sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
  • Fused silica lined tubing ensures repeatability and the lowest detection limits.
  • PFPD provides proportional response allowing uncalibrated peaks to be quantified using response factors from known peaks of similar structure.
