VICI Metronics: Masters of Materials and Design for Chromatography Grade Gas Purifiers

Gas purification is critical to GC performance. Several types of contaminants are detrimental - notably moisture, hydrocarbons, and oxygen. VICI Metronics gas purifier modules are designed to be placed in-line with the GC carrier or detector gas supply to remove these contaminants from the analytical gases prior to their entering the GC.

Original equipment in the Agilient® Mass Spec and LC Mass Spec, VICI Metronics gas purifiers dramatically reduce contaminant levels and absorb a greater variety of contaminants than other gas purification products. Purification is optimised with a multiple bed format. Each bed functions at a lower contaminant concentration, resulting in a series of contaminant concentration gradients across the length of the gas purifier.

Advanced materials and design features guarantee that the modules will produce gases that are at least a factor of ten higher than a 99.9999% ‘chromatography grade’ cylinder of gas when the purifier is supplied by a 99.995% cylinder.
