Why Choose Custom GC Integration Over Standard Analyzers?

CHEMLYS combines deep-rooted expertise in gas sampling with advanced chromatography to deliver high-performance analytical solutions tailored to your laboratory’s operational goals.

Our GC analytical solutions include configuration definition for your application, installation and functional testing in our laboratory. The development of the method and your support to the management of the analytical solution are also included.

Advanced features for your custom GC solution

We integrate custom valving, multiple ovens, and precise column configurations strictly optimized to reduce your cycle times and maximize efficiency. Your system arrives ready to perform. We deliver every analyzer with pre-configured methods in our workshop prior to shipment. Unlike the rigid off-the-shelf catalogs of major manufacturers, we adapt our hardware and system architecture entirely to your operational standards and norms, not the other way around.

At CHEMLYS, we bridge the gap between "standard" equipment and your exact analytical requirements, no matter how complex.

Industry-Leading Hardware for High-Performance Solutions To deliver the most reliable results, CHEMLYS builds its analytical solutions upon the latest Shimadzu GC platforms. ShimadzuThese world-class instruments—including the Nexis GC-2030 and the Brevis GC-2050—serve as the high-precision backbone for all our custom configurations. By combining Shimadzu’s robustness with CHEMLYS’ engineering, we provide systems that are both technologically advanced and easy to maintain.

What is a CHEMLYS GC Solution?

  • Automated Sampling: Integration of gas or liquid valves for seamless on-line analysis. Advanced multiplexing capabilities for real-time monitoring of multiple reaction streams.
  • Versatility: Turnkey configurations for both standardized (ASTM, ISO) and proprietary non-routine methods.
  • Extended Detection: A wide array of specialized detectors, including high-sensitivity options beyond the standard manufacturer catalog.

A "solution" goes far beyond the basic chromatograph. It is a complete, integrated system designed to solve your specific analytical challenges.

Operating Principle:

Gas Chromatography (GC) is the cornerstone of complex mixture analysis. It relies on the high-resolution separation of compounds, followed by targeted detection and precise quantification.
To ensure your lab operates at the peak of performance, our solutions are built on the newest generation of Shimadzu hardware. We integrate the industry’s most advanced platforms: Nexis GC-2030, Brevis GC-2050 and the latest flagship in Shimadzu's lineup : Nexis GC-2060. By leveraging these cutting-edge instruments as our technological foundation, CHEMLYS designs configurations that are not just state-of-the-art today, but are built to meet the analytical challenges of tomorrow.

We believe that the global configuration is the key to project success. CHEMLYS enhances standard GC technology through:
- Online analysis via integrated valve control
- A GC configured for your need and evolving
- Regular products and developments around your topics of interest (sampling, data processing, automation...)

The Strategic Advantage of GC Customization

- One of the keys to online analysis is sampling management. This is what we bring you through the selection of gas or liquid injection valves adapted to your technical requirements.
- Optimizing GC configuration through column selection and integration of several analytical pathways allows for analysis of complex samples (samples of various types...).
- Think about the scalability of your analyzers to make them evolve according to your needs by adding detectors or coupling with other technologies.

Whether your laboratory operates under strict regulatory frameworks (ASTM, ISO, USP) or explores new frontiers in research, our customization principles ensure your GC is a perfect fit for your mission.

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.
