Chromatography: GC |
Being Pre launched at Pittcon 2006 the 300 series is an all new design of gas chromatograph from cambridge scientific instruments. Rather than heating the column in a oven as in a conventional gas chromatograph, in the 300 series the column itself is directly heated. This allows for much more rapid heating and cool down, which in turn allows for much faster chromatography. In addition to the obvious advantages of speed, because the 300 series dose not require a large oven and additional heaters the instrument its self can be much more compact than a regular gas chromatograph. A 300 series has dimensions of just 240mm x 370mm x 330mm. Another new feature of the 300 series is automatic column installation. As displayed in the video below the user simply has to place the column into the holder, close the door, tell the GC to install the column and the 300 series will take care of the rest, inserting the column into the injector and detector and checking that the ferrules are correct and sealing and that there are no leaks. Features include
- Direct Heated Column
- Rapid Cool Down
- Fast Chromatography C8-C40
