Clean Carrier Gas and Sample Preparation: The Key to Instrument Longevity
Gas analysis requires a high quality of carrier gas and particle-free samples.
The quality of the sample in Micro GC and GC, as well as the quality of the carrier gas, is a key factor in achieving good results and ensuring the proper functioning of your analyzer.
Reliable gas chromatography (GC and Micro GC) relies on two critical factors: ultra-high-purity carrier gases and particulate-free sample streams.Neglecting gas filtration leads to column contamination, detector drift, and costly emergency repairs. Installing dedicated sample and carrier gas purifiers secures your analytical workflow and reduces operational costs.
Optimal Performance: Maximize detector sensitivity and baseline stability.
Failure Prevention: Protect MEMS injectors and micro-columns from irreversible damage.
Extended Service Life: Guarantee the long-term reliability of your laboratory and process analyzers.
Sample gas filtration
Raw gas streams often carry liquid droplets, condensates, and fine particulates that must be removed prior to injection.
The membrane bypass filter is the industry-standard protective solution for Micro GC systems. Engineered with an ultra-low internal volume, it provides rapid response times while requiring minimal sample flow.
Available in inert version (SilcoNERT2000) and heated version (for analysis of BTEX, hydrocarbon, solvents and siloxanes), it fits all your applications.
Other types of filters exist depending on your applications. Ask for our accessories catalog!
Carrier gas filtration
In gas analysis, the purity of the carrier gas is essential to ensure the performance of your analyser.
Various vector gas filters exist to protect your GC or Micro GC. The main pollutants are moisture (H2O), oxygen (O2) and trace hydrocarbons.
It is recommended that filters be provided when connecting to a carrier gas network or when the cylinder is shared over several equipment.
