AGC NovaCHROM Gas Chromatograph Range0 pages

Gas Chromatograph

Online Gas Analysis at %,
ppm and ppb levels

Following on from the success of the AGC Series 100 GC
range, AGC Instruments introduces the new NovaCHROM
GC. The NovaCHROM GC is a culmination of years of experience
in high sensitivity Gas Chromatography specific for the Analysis
of impurities in a wide range of gas applications. It utilises
the latest advanced technologies to provide our customers
with the precise results they require with the ease of use and
support features they expect.
The NovaCHROM uses industry driven and proven methods
of analysis for the quality control of gases using different
detector technologies adapted to the required applications.
Minimal training is necessary as the large colour interactive
touch screen provides an easy-to-use user interface for guided
functionality. It offers excellent control of the many features
which enable the precise monitoring of applications. This
allows the operator to perform chosen applications with ease
and ensures that the NovaCHROM GC provides a top class
service to you at all times.
Each NovaCHROM GC is equipped with specific chromatography
components depending on the application. In order to
guarantee a contamination free, precision or UHP quality
chromatographic separation, “high purity” rotary valves in a
purged box (for ADD and DID detectors) are used to prevent
leakages. 1/8” Stainless Steel columns are fitted either with
Swagelok® or VCR compression fittings and combined with
1/16“ stainless steel tubing and plumbing accessories throughout
(electropolished if required). Other materials such as Teflon
or Hastelloy may be used, as required, to eliminate interference
from the matrix gas or to mitigate the effects of corrosive
elements. Moreover, the packed columns with their multiple
column ovens and individual temperature controllers also
maintain exceptional stability, sensitivity, accuracy and
repeatability.
With a quick start up time, fast detector response and superior
attributes such as the Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) System
for the carrier gas, operation of the NovaCHROM is swift,
precise and straightforward. The optimised consumption of
carrier and supply gases by the NovaCHROM provides an
economical platform with a low cost of ownership and long life
span. Servicing and maintenance is trouble-free with a dropdown front panel for easy access to the electronic components
and the unique column infrastructure, which can be regenerated
in-situ, provides the user with seamless operations.
The Integrated Diagnostics and Configurable Alarms Systems
pinpoint any areas which require attention to allow swift
identification and resolution of any process issues. With these
features, the NovaCHROM can operate unattended for long
periods of time. This makes this GC Platform very versatile
and robust to meet the exacting needs of the operation.
