Typical Chromatogram

Key Features and Benefits

• Can be configured for both liquid and gas sample analysis.
• On-board vaporizer converts liquid carbon dioxide to gas phase prior to injection for more repeatable analysis.
• This application does not analyze ammonia or nitrogen dioxide. Additional applications exist for these components.
