Gas chromatography is a technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components of a sample. It involves passing the sample through a column that contains a stationary phase, which selectively interacts with the different components of the sample. As the sample flows through the column, the different components are separated based on their interactions with the stationary phase, and they emerge from the column at different times, allowing for their identification and quantification.

 

Parker's fluidic components can help with gas chromatography by providing reliable and precise control of gas flows and pressure. For example, Parker's precision electronic pressure controllers can maintain a constant gas flow rate using pressure, which is crucial for obtaining accurate and reproducible results in gas chromatography. Parker also offers a range of valves, fittings, and tubing that are designed to work together seamlessly, ensuring leak-free connections and minimizing dead volume, which can interfere with the accuracy of gas chromatography measurements.

 

Our role in improving the reliability and accuracy of gas chromatography measurements is undeniable, making it a vital tool for researchers and analysts in various fields, including environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.

Laboratory GCs

Laboratory GC is typically used for analytical purposes in a controlled laboratory environment. It is designed to provide high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision for the analysis of small sample sizes and a diverse array of molecules. Laboratory GC systems are generally larger in size and have a wider range of analytical capabilities compared to process GC systems. They are also more flexible and can be easily configured for different analytical applications. 

Parker Precision Fluidics has been instrumental in adding value to laboratory GC systems by providing high-quality components and solutions that enhance the performance and reliability of these systems. Their precision fluidic control components, such as valves, regulators, and electronic pressure controllers help to ensure accurate and consistent pressure, which is critical for achieving reliable and reproducible results in GC analysis. Additionally, Parker's expertise in fluidic system design and integration allows for customized solutions that meet the specific needs of individual customers and their analytical applications.

Process GCs

Process GC are used for online monitoring and control of industrial processes, such as refining, petrochemical production, and natural gas processing. Process GC systems are designed to provide real-time analysis of large sample volumes and operate continuously in harsh industrial environments. They are typically smaller in size, have a higher flow rate and pressure capabilities, and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments.

Parker Precision Fluidics has also been a key player in adding value to process GC systems by providing robust and reliable fluidic control solutions that can withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments. Our microfluidic control components, including electronic pressure controllers, valves,  and regulators, are designed to operate at high flow rates and pressures, while maintaining accuracy and reproducibility in process sample analysis. Parker's expertise in fluidic system design and integration allows for customized solutions that meet the specific needs of individual industrial processes.
