The 3000 Micro GC Gas Analyzer is a portable gas chromatograph solution. It is known for its rapid analysis capabilities, often completing gas analyses within 1–3 minutes. This efficiency is achieved through the use of rapid temperature ramping and a modular architecture. The device is lightweight and transportable, with a web-based user interface that simplifies operation both on-site and in the lab.
The Micro GC Fusion, which is part of the 3000 series features Fusion Auto-Sensing Technology (FAST) coupled with MEMS TCD (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Thermal Conductivity Detector) that provides sensitivity down to 1 ppm.
The front panel display offers control, analysis results, and status updates, while the embedded Wi-Fi allows for instrument control from various devices.
The 3000 Micro GC can simultaneously analyze samples on up to four independent channels. Each channel is a self-contained GC, consisting of a MEMS injector, MEMS detector, and a high-resolution capillary column. This multi-channel capability enables the analysis of complex samples and provides comprehensive data on the gas composition.
The analyzer is ideal for a wide range of applications, including natural gas analysis, monitoring of sulfur compounds in natural gas, refinery gas analysis, and research in alternative energy fields. Its portability and ease of use make it a valuable tool for field applications, such as mud logging in oil and gas exploration or mine gas analysis.
The 3000 Micro GC is also equipped with EZ IQ™ software, which is both feature-rich and user-friendly, allowing even non-chromatographers to operate the instrument with ease. The software supports customization of run naming, sequence prioritization, and data export options, enhancing the flexibility and usability of the system.
