Did you know: Cylinder free?
Unique automatic gas chromatograph (auto-GC) cylinder-free The use of carrier gas, from cylinder, is restrictive. Indeed, users may be concerned with the on-site use of hydrogen (H2) and the complexity of cylinder management. Moreover, the analysis can be interrupted if cylinders are not changed in time. To solve these problems, Chromatotec manufactures three gas generators to be connected to ...

airmOzone: 88 VOCs from PAMS and TO14 lists - Case Study
Ozone precursors by FID from WATER or AIR 0 - 325 μg/m3 or higher Context & Challenges Ozone concentration has been multiplied by 5 in the last century in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere from 10 PPB in 1874 to approximately 50 PPB today. This is an increase of 1.6% per year; the trend is probably higher (2.4% a year) over the last decades. (Chapter 1 of the International ...

New IONICON Extended Volatility Range (EVR) PTR-MS
Ultra-Fast Time Response Even for IVOCs & SVOCs Real-Time Ultra-Sensitive trace VOC analyzers from IONICON are known for their response times in fractions of a second and hence are often used to follow rapidly changing processes and VOC signals. However, some substances are known to show a slower instrumental response because of unwanted surface interactions. These substances are either ...

US EPA Method 524.2 with the Tekmar Lumin P&T Concentrator, AQUATek LVA and Agilent 7890B GC/5977A MS
Abstract US EPA Method 524.2 was used to determine the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water. The Teledyne Tekmar Lumin purge and trap (P&T) concentrator, along with an AQUATek LVA (liquid vial autosampler) and Agilent 7890B GC/5977A MS was used to create a working linear calibration curve and method detection limits (MDLs) for target compounds. This study will ...

Factors affecting the choice of VOC sensor
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) perform many vital roles as fuels, solvents, cleaners, feedstock, sterilants etc. However, they can be harmful to health and the environment, so it is often necessary to monitor their concentration. By definition, organic compounds contain the element carbon, and exhibit similar chemical properties, which is advantageous from a monitoring perspective. However, ...

The effect of draw out lens diameter on sensitivity of GC–MS analysis
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) allows isolation and identification of individual analytes within a complex mixture. Helium has traditionally been the first-choice carrier gas, owing to its inertness, performance, and relatively cheap price. Since 2001, however, helium has become increasingly expensive with a reported global increase in price of 500% between 2001 and 2016 ...
