Typical Chromatogram
Key Features and Benefits
- ISO 6974-6:2002 recommends using two separate gas chromatographs in series, Wasson-ECE Instrumentation performs the analysis on a single gas chromatograph using three unique thermal zones.
- On-board regulators ensure that flow is consistent.
- Argon and nitrogen carrier gases are used.
