Professor Dan explains how much sample you should put in your Gas Chromatograph (GC), and how to adjust the amount of sample you’re putting in
Whether you drink a beer from a major manufacturer, the local brewer down the street, or even brew the beer yourself, knowing the ethanol content of that beer is an important piece of information. Up until 1995 the alcohol content wasn’t allowed to be on beer labels at all until the Coors Brewing Company successfully…

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, is a term given to organic compounds that become a gas at ambient temperatures and pressures. These VOCs are monitored because many are hazardous to human health, with several being a carcinogen. The source of these VOCs are industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and even natural sources such as forest fires.…

Robustness is something that needs to be considered when using a Gas Chromatograph (GC) instrument. You want a system that is rugged and reliable and able to withstand dirty samples and long batch times, so that you don’t have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting, repairing, or cleaning your GC. After all, you’ve got…

When we first began designing the Lucidity GAS we realized that it was important for the GC and the GAS to be in constant contact with a two way dialogue and to know exactly what each other were doing for maximum safety and minimum gas consumption. If your gas chromatograph is informing your gas generator…

Sometimes we forget about one of the most important costs associated with running a lab – energy costs. Energy costs can add up when you’re having to climate control a lab, especially if you have fume hoods that have certain air movement requirements. On top of that your instrumentation can be pulling a lot of…

Wasting money is exactly what you’re doing if you’re using gas cylinders with your Gas Chromatograph. Let us help you. Here’s a little math we’ve done. A lab that’s running 2 GC-FIDs only 6-8 hours per day is using around 16 Helium tanks per year, 12 High Purity Air tanks per year, and 4 Hydrogen…
