GC 8900 - Portable VOC Chromatograph

A 2nd detector can be fitted

The GC8900 portable analyser is a reliable, industrial analyser designed for chromatographic separation. It allows for the SPECIFIC measurement of your compounds in air or in water from a few tens of ppt (parts per trillion!). It has already been put to scores of different uses by clients the world over. Its wide range of options mean the GC8900 portable analyser can meet all your analytical needs. With 3 different detectors, multiple analytical methods, different outputs, upstream sample processing, two control modes (remote or on-site) etc ....

Compounds detected

The GC8900 portable Chromatograph analyses volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as Benzene, Toluene, Trichlorethylene, Perchlorethylene, Propylene, Isopropylene, Phosphine, Hexane, Heptane, Hydrogen Sulfide, Ammonia etc, as well as aromatic hydrocarbons.

Industrial PC with SKYCHROM software
The GC8900 portable chromatograph is PC-operated and runs using the SKYCHROM software. This powerful software has many features:

  • Automatic scaling
  • Programmable auto zero
  • Management of calibration parameters (frequency, concentration etc)
  • Alarms (by compound or point)

Scale of analysis
The analytical scale of the GC8900 portable chromatograph is 50 ppt at X ppm (with high sensitivity detector).
