GCxGC - Comprehensive Gas Chromatography analysers

Excellence in Mass Spectrometry

MALDI-MS The “LaserToF” range of MALDI-ToF instruments
GC-MS The “Kronus” range of continuous beam orthogonal ToF analysers for GC-MS and GCxGC-MS.
SIMS The award winning “MiniSIMS” designed for the cost effective surface and interface analysis of materials.

Comprehensive GC (GCxGC)

GCxGC is a rapidly growing technique for the analysis of complex samples. Because GCxGC is both a qualitative and quantitative technique, most GC applications can be accomplished using GCxGC. Some of the main areas of GCxGC applications are:

Petroleum Liquids
Environmental Forensics
PCBs/Dioxins/Pesticides
Flavors & Fragrances
Air Toxics
Industrial Process Diagnosis
Pyrolysates (Fire Debris, Tobacco)
Catalysis
Soils and Sediments
Chemical Warfare Agents.

The kit to equip a conventional GC for GCxGC comprises :

Loop modulator that can be fitted to mostGC's in which the 2 stage thermal modulation is achieved by using a continuous cold flow jet and a regularly pulsed hot jet to deflect the cold jet and remobilize trapped eluent.

1st and 2nd dimension columns.

The real time display of a 2D chromatogram as it is being acquired.

Optional GC image program that features automatic peak detection and quantification capability.

GC Image is a software system for visualising, processing, analysing and reporting on images produced in two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC).

GCxGC ToF MS system

SAI now offer a comprehensive GC ToF ( GCxGC-ToF ) system based on the Kronus ToF analyser using the above items.
