LECO's QuadJet SD Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography combined with Flame Ionization Detection.
GC-TOFMS
LECO's Benchtop Gas Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer Pegasus® BT GC-TOFMS.
GC×GC-TOFMS
LECO's Benchtop Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer Pegasus® BT 4D GC×GC-TOFMS.
GC/MSD/FID
Agilent 5977B gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detector with EI, a single quadrupole, and split to an FID.
AUTOSAMPLERS
L-PAL3 GC Autosampler
L-PAL3 GC Autosampler is capable of liquid, headspace, and SPME injections.
Thermal Desorption OPTIC-4 Pyro
Optic-4 can pyrolyze samples inside the inlet liner for, both liquid and solid samples.
Generators
Mistral EVOlution N₂ Generator (VICI DBS)
The Nitrogen Generator includes an integral oil-free air compressor, delivering a continuous stream of pure nitrogen gas of 98% at a flow rate of 35 L/min. It uses the pressure swing adsorption system that removes oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water from compressed air.
PG Plus FID Tower (VICI DBS)
The generator uses the latest proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology to produce pure hydrogen. De-ionized water is automatically loaded from smart internal system tanks with a 3 L capacity, providing up to 3000 L of H2 before a refill is required.
Other Instruments
LC-MS
Exactive™ Plus Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer is a benchtop LC-MS system that delivers high-resolution, accurate-mass (HR/AM) data and fast full-scan capabilities.
SVM 3001 Cold Properties
Anton Paar SVM 3001 Cold Properties is capable of measuring density, viscosity, cloud point, and freezing point in the temperature range of -60 to +100 °C.
6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter
Parr Instrument Company 6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter is a microprocessor-controlled, isoperibol oxygen bomb calorimeter.
