Overview
3.1 Overview of 3000 Micro GC Instrument and Accessories
3000 Micro GC is a gas analyzer with applications ranging from fixed gases
(H
2
, O
2
, N
2
, CO, CO
2
, etc.) to light hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, ethylene,
propane, butanes, and pentanes) and volatile organic compounds (methanol,
ethanol, benzene, etc.). 3000 Micro GC contains from 1 to 4 channels that perform
analysis in seconds. For many applications, hydrocarbons between the C
6
- C
10
boiling range can be detected at mid-to-high ppm concentrations.
NOTE: When installed in a 3000 Micro GC chassis, a module is referred to as a
channel. When standalone, it is referred to as a module.
Samples can be introduced manually by a gas tight syringe, Tedlar
®
bag, or a
sample cylinder such as a summa canister. Samples can also be interfaced to
3000 Micro GC with appropriate INFICON supplied sample conditioners to
facilitate on-line analysis from bench scale or pilot plant reactors, or directly from a
process line. See Chapter 5, Accessory Installation for information on sample
conditioners.
3000 Micro GC is a ready to use solution combining speed of analysis, simplicity,
and small size. Since 3000 Micro GC is a gas chromatographic instrument, all
principles of GC operation and calibration apply.
3000 Micro GC is used in combination with INFICON EZ IQ chromatography
software for instrument control and chromatography analysis.
