Struggling with Inconsistent GC Results? It Could Be Your Flow
Getting consistent, reliable results in GC often means juggling a lot of moving parts. You carefully optimise columns,...
GC for Research Labs
Compact & Affordable
Bringing GC In-House
We built the 200 Series GC so any lab can run gas chromatography without the overhead of a big instrument. Here’s what makes it straightforward:
-
Broad capability, smaller unit. Most core gas chromatography functions with detector options to suit your methods.
-
Compatible with standard consumables. Accepts both packed and capillary columns (5″ cage) and works with common autosamplers.
-
Low ongoing effort. Energy-efficient oven design; flexible carrier gases (helium, nitrogen, hydrogen); flow-through oven design for added safety.
-
Trusted in multiple settings. Already in use by research groups and universities bringing testing in-house with reliable results.
Free Up Bench Space
We understand that space is tight, so the 200 Series GC delivers core GC functions in a footprint about the size of a 17″ laptop (41 × 34 × 16 cm).
-
Compact footprint: fits on a bench, trolley, or fume cupboard.
-
Core capability in a small unit: oven, split/splitless injector with EPC, and detector options (FID, TCD, ECD, FPD).
-
Efficient thermal design: smaller oven volume, good insulation, and an innovative heat exchanger maintain performance while reducing size.
-
Flexible placement: sits alongside existing lab kit; compatible with autosamplers.
Get Results Faster
Outsourcing gas chromatography often means waiting days or weeks for results. With the 200 Series GC on your bench, turnaround is much faster. You control the timetable: run samples when ready, repeat experiments without delays, and schedule overnight sequences when needed.
-
Faster access to data: avoid long outsourcing queues and shipping delays.
-
Flexible scheduling: run experiments when your project requires.
-
Keep projects moving: quicker turnaround helps collaborations and research stay on track.
Broad Application Range
Despite its compact, affordable design, the 200 Series GC is versatile and supports a wide range of applications. Each unit includes a split/splitless injector with EPC, suitable for both capillary and packed column methods (5″ cage).
-
Flexible configuration: choice of detectors (FID, TCD, ECD, FPD).
-
Supports diverse methods: capillary and packed column compatibility.
-
Automation options: compatible with headspace and SPME autosamplers.
In short, the 200 Series GC covers most common research applications, making it a practical and accessible choice for labs that want reliable in-house gas chromatography.
Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance
Research budgets often can’t accommodate high-end, six-figure chromatography systems. The 200 Series GC was designed to be different — delivering essential gas chromatography performance at a fraction of the cost.
-
Affordable entry price: with finance options available in the UK.
-
Lower running costs: energy-efficient oven design reduces power use.
-
Carrier gas flexibility: helium, nitrogen, or hydrogen — not tied to one choice.
-
Easy maintenance: straightforward design with user-replaceable columns.
-
Fast ROI: reduce outsourcing costs and keep analyses in-house.
