GAS offers custom made inlet options for accurate transfer, conditioning and injection of gas and liquid samples. Specific sample situations often require tailor made adaptations for keeping the sample in the original state and obtaining correct quantitative results.

The picture shows a collection system with 32 sample loops for fast sampling during an experiment. The samples are analysed one by one afterwards, allowing a complex GC separation with long runtime.

GAS recently installed an analyser at SGS The Netherlands B.V. Vlissingen for sub-ppb levels of H2S, COS, arsine & phosphine in ethylene & propylene.    

Results were obtained in cooperation with Mr. K. Spaas and Mr. J. Verkuil, who are kindly thanked for their permission for publication.

 The conversion of waste streams into a useable material through a recycling process is a hot topic. Waste plastics are converted in pyrolysis oil and used as cracker feedstock. Known analysis methods like PIONA and DHA can analyse up to C14, while pyrolysis oils range from C4-C32. Hence new methodology is required to fully characterise the hydrocarbon composition. The standardised GC-VUV method for PIONA was therefore extended to include the quantification of pyrolysis oils.

Detailed analysis of C1-C6 (and heavier) hydrocarbons is very common in various application fields. Please have a look and download the latest application note. 

GAS recently installed a Silane purity analyser. Silane – SiH4 – is used in the semiconductor industry, in production of glass fibers and coatings, and has an important rol in polymer production. The measured impurities are permanent gases like H2, O2, N2, CH4, CO and CO2 at low ppb levels. SiH4 is extreme flammable, therefore special care is taken in handling the matrix peak. Please contact us for more information.

IS-X (Interscience expert centre) and GAS have developed an new application: identification and quantification of NPS (Narcotics and New Psychoactive Substances) using GC-VUV.

Due to local laws the identification of NPS has to be based on two different techniques in order to be used in prosecution. Currently the first technique of choice is Mass Spectrometry due to the wide availability of MS libraries, from which NIST is the best-known database. Identification based on molecular weight is a powerful tool to classify components but the shortcoming is the inability to distinctively differentiate between isomers. A secondary technique, usually based on spectral absorbance (e.g. IR or UV) is used for isomer identification. GC-VUV offers both separation power of a high-resolution column combined with the unique absorbance spectra for nearly any component.
