New buyer’s guide helps universities bring GC into teaching and research

Timetables are tight, and access to instruments is scarce. If you run a teaching lab or a small research group and want to expand your GC capability without breaking your budget, the new Gas Chromatography for Teaching & Research - 200 Series Buyer’s Guide shows how to put a compact GC on the bench and use it well from day one. 

The guide keeps things simple and practical. It explains GC in plain English and why it matters in both teaching and research. You’ll see where a small, single-channel GC fits when you don’t always know what sample is coming next (see the ‘How to use this guide’ section). 

You get the essentials you need to make a decision:

• What to buy and why: detectors (FID, ECD, TCD), direct injection vs headspace, and a clear, helium-free carrier gas overview so you can run hydrogen or nitrogen with confidence 
• What you could teach now: six short, 90-120 minute experiments - solvent ID and quant, method variables, LOD/LOQ, reaction monitoring, a forensic ‘unknown’, and %ABV in beer - built for large cohorts 
• How to run research without queues: add small GC capacity to cut bottlenecks and give more students hands-on time 
• Software choices: full Ellution or Ellution Lite for straightforward teaching and data capture
• Complete education packages: instrument, columns, gases/plumbing, consumables, lesson packs, installation, and training in one bundle  
• Prep checklist: space, power, gas, PC - so the GC is ready to run on delivery

If you need proof it works in real labs, you’ll also find comments from UK academics who’ve put compact GC in front of students and kept it reliable.
