The Educational TCD GC system is ideal for undergraduate chemistry classes with labs. Configured on the ultra compact 310 chassis, the Educational GC includes a traditional 4-filament Thermal Conductivity Detector that can heat to 275^oC. The built-in single channel PeakSimple data system provides easy and powerful data acquisition, as well as temperature programming for the column oven. The column oven is programmable to 400^oC with unlimited ramps and holds, and is equipped with fast cool-down fans. Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for the carrier gas provides rock-solid retention time reproducibility.

The Educational FID GC system is also ideal for undergraduate chemistry classes or graduate level research. This same GC is can be used in thrifty labs for general VOC analysis because of its low cost and complete upgrade-ability* with our wide selection of detectors and injectors, in case analytical needs change in the future.

Both the carrier gas and the FID combustion gas are controlled by programmable Electronic Pressure Controllers, or EPCs. EPCs not only provide rock-solid retention time reproducibility, but allow the carrier gas to be pressure ramped (just as the column oven is temperature ramped) from the built-in PeakSimple data system.

The On-column injector is ideal for 1/8" packed and 0.53mm wide-bore capillary columns, and is suitable for analyses ranging from methane to heavy, high-boiling hydrocarbons (C₄₄+). The column oven accepts column cage diameters up to four inches, is programmable to 400^oC, and recycles quickly with its high speed cool-down fans.
