CARRIER GAS TRAPS AND FILTERS

GAS PURIFIERS - FROM CRS
Advanced Filter System:  All NEW from CRS, this 2-part Advanced Filter System includes a small stainless steel manifold and a high capacity filter cartridge.
Oxygen Traps
:  Oxygen is the leading cause of column degradation.  These oxygen traps use a copper-based catalyst to remove oxygen to sub-ppm levels.
Moisture Traps:  Water which can be present in the carrier gas stream can hydrolyze common silanized supports which leads to stationary phase degradation.
Moisture/Oil/Dust Traps: These traps are ideal for general purpose filtering such as fuel gases for FID's.
Hydrocarbon Traps:  These traps use activated charcoal to remove all hydrocarbons except methane.  Some hydrocarbon traps are available with Indicating DrieriteTM for simultaneous water removal.
Specialty Traps
:  The Split Vent Trap keeps detector emissions from contaminating your laboratory air.

 
   ADVANCED FILTER SYSTEM  (AFS)    
The Advanced Filter System (AFS) removes impurities such as oxygen, water and hydrocarbons from inert gases and hydrogen to low ppb levels. Proper installation of the AFS reduces impurities, increases sensitivity levels and improves performance.
The two part system includes a small stainless steel manifold and a high capacity filter cartridge. It can be attached to a laboratory wall or bench with brackets included. Each connection in the AFS is made with two fluoro-elastomer seals. The polycarbonate shield that surrounds the glass indicator section of the filter is sealed, so the gas flow is secure even if the glass is broken.

Replacement Cartridge TRP-2910 $430.00
   
   
   INDICATING OXYGEN TRAP    

Indicating Oxygen Traps chemically convert oxygen in carrier gas streams and uses a high capacity oxygen adsorbent and an indicating adsorbent to display depletion.

Adsorbs up to 40cc's of oxygen to less than 30ppb levels


Approx. dimensions: 3.2 x 26cm

Inner heavy walled glass tube encased in a hard plastic tube for
     added safety and strength
Redundant three part inner seal for leak-free operation
Can be regenerated - no need to dispose
OXYGEN TRAP Quadrex # PRICE
Indicating O2 w/ 1/8" fittings TRP-2220 $103.03
Indicating O2 w/ 1/4" fittings TRP-2223 $103.03
 
 
   MODEL 1000 HIGH CAPACITY OXYGEN TRAP    

The Model 1000 high capacity oxygen trap  is specifically designed for the bulk removal of oxygen for capillary use, especially with ECD and GC-MS systems.

NOTE:  The active catalyst in this high capacity oxygen trap becomes hot when exposed to air.  According, this Trap MUST ship as HAZARDOUS GOODS.

Over 2.5 liter O2 capacity from 500cc's of adsorbent


Approx. dimensions: 5 x 37cm

Removes O2 to less than 70ppb oxygen levels at the outlet
Nickel plated steel construction rated to 1000psig
Maximum flow of 1L/min recommended
Can be regenerated (instructions are included)
Delivered filled with high purity helium - ready for use
OXYGEN TRAP* Quadrex # PRICE
High Capacity O2 w/ 1/8" fittings TRP-2200 $158.59
High Capacity O2 w/ 1/4" fittings TRP-2202 $158.59
*The High Capacity O2 Trap must ship as Hazardous Goods.
Hazardous goods shipping charges will apply.

We recommend using the Indicating Oxygen Trap (at top) downstream from this Model 1000 trap to show when its capacity is depleted.
