A Sharing on Gas Chromatography - Vacuum Ultraviolet Technology

The VUV detector is a revolutionary detector which utilizes molecular absorption down to 120nm, once upon a time thought to be impossible for a benchtop system. Because almost all molecules absorb very strongly at this wavelength based on their electron configuration, it gives a unique finger print, such that even isomers can be differentiated. With the simplicity of Beer-Lambert’s Law together with the VUV deconvolution software, one can identify and quantify gas phase molecules easily even though they may co-elute.

Basic Laboratory Practices

Meet VUV Analytics

• Installed base

• VUV Theory

Singular Platform Approach

• Gasoline – The VGA Fuels Analyzer significantly simplifies PIONA compound analysis in finished gasoline

• Jet Fuel – An alternative to FIA/HPLC analysis for Jet Fuels

• Diesel – Includes characterizing Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) for Bio-Diesel

• Verified Hydrocarbon Analysis (VHA) – an alternative to Detail Hydrocarbon Analysis that speciates ~140 gasoline compounds while fully characterizing PIONA compound class composition w/ automated data processing times 2-3 min / sample
