Portable gas chromatograph for on-site
analyses
Ideal for field work, test stations, pilot plants, and process lines, it can run one or two channels simultaneously with a single injection, producing laboratory-quality results
Agilent Technologies Europe has introduced the Agilent 3000 Micro gas chromatograph portable, a small, easy-to-carry GC that does not require an outside power source or external carrier gas supply The portable system is ideal for field work, test stations, pilot plants, and process lines, and can run one or two channels simultaneously with a single injection, producing laboratory-quality results

Agilent offers two versions of the Micro GC.
One version comes equipped with on-board batteries and a mini carrier gas cylinder (both rechargeable) for sites where there is no external power available.
Batteries used with this version can be recharged from either an AC power source or an automobile power cable adapter.
The other version, which is more economical, has an on-board carrier gas cylinder, but no internal power source.
A carrier gas cylinder recharging kit is included with both versions.
The system's modular design can be configured for a wide span of applications, including environmental, fuel cell, natural gas, high-purity industrial gas, oil and gas exploration, transformer oil gas and petrochemical applications.
The system's modularity also allows users to replace modules quickly if needed, with minimal downtime.
An easy-to-use software interface enables non-chromatographers to easily run samples and get results.
And because of its micro-machined components and capillary columns, the 3000 Micro GC Portable provides analyses up to ten times faster than conventional laboratory GCs.
The system's thermal conductivity detector with extended dynamic range is ten times more sensitive than traditional laboratory TCDs, allowing users to analyse samples with major and minor components in a single run.
Such excellent performance and portability allows for increased productivity and greater profitability in both the field and laboratory.
Digital pneumatics control minimises variations in operator skill level and improves consistency.
