Precision detection and identification


with high sensitivity of liquid samples
In today's fast-paced laboratory environment, turnaround times play a pivotal role in establishing and
maintaining your lab's reputation. However, productivity challenges, such as instrument downtime, sample
reruns, and data reviews, can hinder efficiency. The GC-UV is a general method of analysis and can be applied
within numerous application areas. The results obtained are both qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative
results give both identification of individual compounds.

With the GC-UV INSCAN 176, scientists and researchers can expedite their analysis process, saving valuable time
and enabling quicker decision-making based on reliable data.

The gas chromatograph has a high heating rate enabling fast analysis when there are few compounds in the
sample. The spectrometer supports this method by having a fast acquisition rate. If the requirement is to be
very precise and time is not a constraint, a method with a slow temperature and pressure ramps can be
employed in order to achieve good separation. The software is easy to use and flexible. A calibration curve is
applied to find the amount of the substances in the sample. The spectral library ensures positive identification
of the individual substances.

Precision detection and identification with high sensitivity

• Benzene, 2ppm • Current Spectrum

Gas chromatography -UV spectrophotometry (GC-UV) is a full scan analytical


method, where the compounds eluting from a gas chromatographic column
are continuously monitored. The method belongs to the same categories as
Proven sensitivity gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and gas chromatography
Fourier transform IR (GC-FTIR).
Comprehensive qualitative information concerning
the identity and chemical class of unknowns in a
sample is gained. The method also gives reliable The sensitivities are very high both concerning detection limits, identification
quantitative results. limits and classification limits. Selective analysis can be carried out for most
of chemical classes like aliphatic aldehydes, pyridines, naphthalenes etc.
Designed for routine labs across various industry
applications for optimum operational efficiency.
UV-spectra in the vapor phase are very well defined, which is the bases for
the identification. Computer based search for unknowns against a reference
library is very well suited for identification as well as for classification of
unknowns. UV-spectra are also visually well suited for fast
identification/classification.

Easy sample Injection


Manual injection is a straightforward and commonly
used method for introducing samples into a gas
chromatography (GC) system. By using a syringe,
analysts carefully draw a small volume of the sample
and inject it directly into the GC inlet. This simple yet
effective technique allows for quick and efficient
analysis of a wide range of samples.
Substance identification can be done both by retention time given by the
chromatograph and by the characteristic absorption spectra given by the
156-320 nm detector. UV-spectra in the vapor phase are very well defined, which is the
Very high sensitivity bases for the identification. Computer based search for unknowns against a
Very high selectivity reference library is very well suited for identification as well as for classification
Very good ability to identify isomers of unknowns.
Very stable without required frequent major calibration
Easy to use GC-UV's ability to detect a wide range of compounds, from volatile to semi-
Mobile and compact volatile, makes it an invaluable tool in diverse fields such as pharmaceuticals,
environmental analysis, forensics, and more. The high selectivity and sensitivity
90% of the maximum absorptions are observed at of GC-UV empower scientists to uncover trace-level impurities, ensuring the
wavelengths below 200nm.. utmost data integrity and quality in their analyses. With its versatility and
robustness, GC-UV is a go-to technique for researchers and analysts who seek
comprehensive and reliable compound analysis.

Quantitative and qualitative chemical
analysis of liquid samples

Our system identifies and measures the quantity of each


substance in a liquid sample.
Classic gas chromatographs with one-dimensional detectors such as Flame Ionization Detector (FID), Thermal
Conductivity Detector (TCD), Electron Capture Detector (ECD), and Flame Photometric Detector (FPD) have
traditionally relied on retention time alone for substance identification. The detector response provides a
quantitative measure of the amount of substance present at each point in time.

However, our system takes a step further by combining the established chromatography technique with a
powerful UV spectrometer. This unique combination allows the detector to provide the complete spectra of
the eluting substance at every moment in time, facilitating positive identification through library searches.

This capability proves particularly valuable in untargeted analyses and when dealing with contaminants in
the sample. In contrast to High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) that employs a liquid solvent, our
device employs nitrogen gas as the carrier, which is transparent in the UV range where many substances
exhibit high absorption. As a result, our system enables higher sensitivity and reduces the shadowing effect
caused by the carrier liquid in HPLC.

While Mass Spectrometers offer sensitive detection, they have longer start-up times and can be prone to
contamination, especially with high sample volumes. Additionally, Mass Spectrometers are unable to
differentiate between structural or optical isomers. However, in UV detection, different isomers exhibit
distinct absorption spectra, allowing for differentiation.

On the other hand, FTIR detectors, although not as sensitive as UV detectors, are usually not integrated within
the same device as gas chromatographs. Utilizing an FTIR detector without a chromatograph requires manual
identification by an experienced user. Moreover, the number of simultaneous detectable substances is limited
compared to other systems.

Our system stands out by utilizing 4.6 purity nitrogen as the carrier gas, which is safe, cost-effective, and easily
obtainable. This sets it apart from other systems that rely on more expensive gases like helium or high-purity
nitrogen. Furthermore, our approach eliminates the potential hazards associated with using hydrogen gas,
especially in the presence of leaks.
