Frequently Asked Questions about Micro GC Fusion®:

How does Micro GC Fusion® differ from a conventional lab bench GC or an optical/spectrometric analyser?

More than an alternative to traditional laboratory GCs, the Micro GC Fusion miniaturizes the technology while dramatically cutting run times. Utilizing independent analytical modules operating in parallel—each featuring MEMS micro-injectors and micro-TCDs—it resolves and quantifies complex gas streams in 1 to 3 minutes, against 15 to 45 minutes for a classic GC.

Unlike optical spectrometers (NDIR, FTIR) or electrochemical sensors, which are frequently constrained by cross-interferences and narrow matrix tolerances, the Micro GC relies on full physical chromatographic separation. Simultaneously measure permanent gases, sulfur species, and light hydrocarbons with zero spectral interference or false positives.

Can high concentrations and ppm-level traces be quantified simultaneously in one run (e.g., H₂, CO₂, biogas)?

Yes. The micro-TCD detector offers an exceptional dynamic range of over five decades, measuring major volume percentages with the same high precision as trace-level components. (e.g. 0 to 100% of CH4 and CO2 in raw or purified biogas) and traces to ppm (e.g. impurities H2S, O2 or N2 in High purity hydrogen).

Furthermore, thanks to its fixed-volume injector, the Micro GC Fusion® features a unique design that eliminates matrix effects and ensures exceptional linearity, regardless of matrix variations across your samples.

What sample types are compatible, and how do you handle moisture or condensable vapors (water, light alcohols like methanol)?

The Micro GC Fusion® accommodates any dry or humid (non-condensing) gas stream at sample pressures up to 2 bar gauge (30 psig).

When dealing with condensable or polar vapors (water vapor, heavy hydrocarbon fractions, methanol), CHEMLYS supports you with turnkey sample preparation engineered for your operational parameters. Through heated sample lines, active conditioning, and online dilution, we guarantee sample representativeness, prevent liquid condensation inside the Micro GC Fusion®, and protect analytical hardware during vapor-phase runs.

Is advanced chromatography training required for daily use of the Micro GC Fusion®?

No. The instrument is engineered to streamline daily operation in both field environments and R&D laboratories. Featuring an onboard web server, the Micro GC Fusion® is controlled directly from any standard web browser (on PC, tablet, or smartphone)—with no software installation or tedious IT maintenance required. Analytical methods developed and validated by CHEMLYS are pre-loaded: non-specialist operators simply connect the sample line and launch the run with a single click to obtain direct, real-time concentration readouts.
