Gas Chromatograph
A field-deployable modular GC with thermal desorption pre-concentration for time-of-flight mass spectrometry with specialized software included for operation and data analysis.
Gas Chromatograph
Aerodyne Research offers a modular gas chromatograph (GC) with thermal desorption preconcentration (TDPC) that combines recent innovations in fast GC separation with highly selective and sensitive detection in a field-deployable package for the measurement of VOCs and OVOCs.
Aerodyne works with our customers to provide a GC system with a custom separation method appropriate for their analytical needs. The instrument delivers with the required capillary column installed and analytical methods pre-loaded into the Windows-based control software, for a true turn-key operation.
Gas Chromatograph
GC Accessories
Oxidant Scrubber / Sulfite Trap
Inline oxidant scrubber to mitigate sampling artifacts during preconcentration
TDPC-Water trap
Additional water removal pre-stage for TDPC system for high volatility species (C2-C3 non-polar species)
Additional GC column oven assembly for ARI GC
Includes: GC oven spindle, oven heaters and temperature sensors (x2), single electrical connection, pre-loaded with GC column of user’s choice, appropriate fittings for simple installation into our GC
Dual Detector Valve - Valve to Support Dual Detectors
Additional 2-position chromatography valve, upgrades Aerodyne GC to allow for the use of two detectors, fully software integrated
TERN and Tofware (Included)
Provides de-convoluted peak fitting for overlapping chromatographic peaks. Compatible for analysis of both high resolution (HR) and unit mass resolution (UMR) data.
- Flexibility – up to three GC columns depending on application, pre-concentration methods (e.g. thermal desorption vs cryo-mechanical), detector type(s)
- Field deployable – ruggedized GC with small, light-weight footprint for automated operation
- Detector compatibility – true plug-and-play operation with all Aerodyne TOF-MS systems
- Dual detectors – designed to operate automatically with two detectors for a more complete data set
- Turn-Key – ready-to-run on delivery due to pre-installed analytical column(s) with custom pre-loaded method(s)
- Speed – flow path allows user to perform multiple GC operations at once; the benefit of this parallel operation is a faster GC cycle (10 – 30 min) without loss of performance.
- Analysis software included - Wavemetrics Igor Pro analysis software (TERN) allows for retention time correction, automated baseline and de-convoluted peak fitting for overlapping chromatographic peaks. Compatible for analysis of both high resolution (HR) and unit mass resolution (UMR) data.
