Applications & Measurements

High throughput, high speed, low cost

By applications we mean applications in continuous and routine use. Three of these have already been developed. All three applications are in 24/7 use and measure thousands of samples. The sample throughput has been increased between at least 7 and 20 times. At the same time, the cost per sample is much lower, as much less consumables are needed and energy consumption is reduced to about one tenth.

Applications

PAH-application-GC

TPH-method

The total hydrocarbon content or H53 method could be made faster by a factor of 20. The cycle time is 70 seconds. Here, the content of hydrocarbons in a sample is quantitatively determined in conformity with the standard with little discrimination between C20 and C40.

PAH-application-GC

VOC-method

The method for measuring volatile substances is carried out with a headspace sample introduction. Up to 90 substances can be quantitatively determined within 3.5 minutes. A speed improvement by a factor of 5 compared to an already highly optimised method was achieved.

PAH-application-GC

PAH-method

The measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is also very widely used. The method developed takes 2.5 minutes cycle time and resolves the critical pairs in accordance with the prevailing standards.
