Fast Micro GC with 2 Columns and Sampling Valve

The Calidus CS for heartcut and backflush applications. The Calidus CS is comprised from 5 modules: a sample processing unit with sampling valve; 2 x resistively heated column modules (choice of columns available); and 2 x detectors (either flame ionisation (FID), flame photometrics (FPD) or thermal conductivity (TCD)). The column switching valve enables this gas chromatograph (GC) to perform heartcut and backflush operations, so it is ideal for individual component specification from a sample matrix. The two restively heated columns can be independently temperature controlled, with ramp rates from 0.1 to 5 degrees C per second, from 5 degrees C above ambient to 180 degrees C. It can be used for product specifications testing, product safety, environmental measurements, catalyst protection, research and many more applications, and can be used in the laboratory, at line, on-line, and it is transportable. A single Calidus micro GC provides a simple ultra-fast analysis, being 10 to 50 times faster than conventional GCs. It has a footprint less than half of a research grade GC, and the capacity to do the work of 4 to 5 research grade GCs, making it the leading choice for gas analysis equipment and a cost effective measurement method. The modular design lowers maintenance costs and increases flexibility to run different fluid mixtures. The Calidus series of micro GCs uses ground breaking technology in the form of resistively heated column. The size of the system can be dramatically reduced due to the fact that using the stainless tube as the heater means that the traditional ovens for columns can be removed. The Calidus series was designed with the idea that a GC used in the lab should be the same GC when used as an on-line system for process control. This way the performance, methods and procedures developed for highly repeatable measurements can be directly applied to on-line systems.
