GC-VUV Applications: #1 Fuel Analysis
Fuel analysis is complex and subject to many standards. Depending on the needs, many analytical methods exist (GC-FID, GC valves, etc.) and sometimes coexist, making processing of the results complex and time-consuming....
Interest of Silconert treatment in sampling reactive products (sulphur, NOx, Mercury...)
This article presents the value of SilcoNert® 2000 surface treatment, which eliminates surface adsorption of active compounds on steel, glass, ceramic and carbon surfaces, in Titanium, platinum. It can be applied to different media and...
Stability and performance: Micro GC Fusion® innovation
All analytical equipment requires maintenance phases. These can be punctual (replacement of wear parts) or recurrent (calibration, drift correction, etc.). These recurring maintenance phases must be the least frequent and the most frequent...
Simplify natural gas analysis with Micro GC Fusion®
Natural gas is part of our daily life, whether it is to cook, heat or even move.In order to guarantee its performance, it is important to know its composition and thus deduce its calorific value (PCI and PCS). As part of the...
