Activated Research Company - Universal Carbon Detection for GC and LC

The gas chromatograph (GC) is an extremely robust instrument that is widely used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).  With a large linear dynamic range and sub-ppm sensitivity, the flame ionization detector (FID) has been a workhorse detector across many industries, including chemicals, oil & gas, paints & coatings, flavour & fragrance, and more.  While the FID is one of the most widely used GC detectors, quantification using the FID can be a costly and time-intensive process due to the rigorous calibration process.  Moreover, even the most expensive calibration standards are susceptible to degradation, volatility, mishandling and even poor preparation that lead to inaccuracies.  A better way of quantification is required for accurate and efficient analysis in the new age. 

In this webinar, ARC will highlight recent advances in the GC and LC space which improve productivity, increase safety, and reduce waste through the concept of compound independent calibration. These advances open new capabilities in the laboratory by harnessing the latest in additive manufacturing and catalytic technologies.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

• Compound independent calibration of VOCs in GC allowing more than a 10x decrease in analysis time
• ppb-level analysis of CO, CO₂ and formaldehyde
• Compound independent calibration in HPLC with solvent removal and reaction
