Typical Chromatogram
Key Features and Benefits
- Approximately a 15 minute analysis time.
- Analyzer can be configured dual train to double the sample throughput.
- Analyzer can be configured for both liquid and gas sample analysis.
- The backflush peak can be tailored to specific samples (e.g. C6+ or C8+ backflush composite peaks).
- Gas chromatograph can be configured to contain additional applications.
