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…

Some organizations have this need and others don’t. For the ones that do, we are happy to let you know that our systems can now…

We’ve all been there before. You go to do that one thing on your GC that that person showed you during the installation and training, but you can’t remember how the heck to do it! Or your GC has arrived, and you’re so excited to get it up and running, but the installation and training…

We’ve talked in a previous post about how you know whether your sample is matching reference runs previously generated from that or similar samples, but how do you determine whether it’s an issue with the analyzer or an issue with the sample…? Here’s how. Your Lucidity GC-FID ships with a Check Standard and a Starter…
