PerkinElmer Clarus 500 Gas Chromatograph with FID and FPD

PN: N6519101

The sleek Clarus 500 Gas Chromatograph (GC) from PerkinElmer offers a whole new approach to the way you interact with your GC instrument. An intuitive touchscreen interface features real-time signal display and eight-language support. It’s what makes the Clarus 500 GC so easy to use and so hard for competitors to beat.

This cutting-edge user interface is combined with the proven dependability of a PerkinElmer GC. The GC systems have the performance needed for the demands of both research and quality-control environments. Additional unique features like our integrated autosampler tower, the PreVent pressure-balanced system and easy serviceability enable the Clarus 500 to deliver enhanced GC productivity.

Available in hundreds of configurations ranging from easy-to-use, flexible analyzers to dedicated, turnkey systems for petrochemical and air analysis, the Clarus 500 GC is extremely versatile. For data management and reporting, PerkinElmer’s award-winning TotalChrom Chromatography Data Systems (CDS) make managing data easier than ever.

Flame lonization Detector (FID)

The Flame lonization Detector is used for the destructive analysis of organic compounds. Sample enters the detector, mixes with hydrogen and is then burned in air which is introduced around the jet tip. The ions formed by burning the organic compound are collected by an electrode and the resultant current is measured. The current is proportional to the amount of compound present. Ion collection is enhanced due to a polarized electric field created by applying a negative voltage (-200 volts) to the jet tip. The sensitivity is affected primarily by the hydrogen flow.

Flame Photometric Detector (FPD)

In the FPD, the column effluent is mixed with hydrogen and then burned in air. Light emitted from the flame passes through a lens, a filter, and to a photomultiplier tube, which generates an electrical signal. The Flame Photometric Detector is used for detecting sulfur, phosphorus, or tin compounds, which produce chemiluminescent reactions with emissions at wavelengths characteristic of the S2 and SN HPO species. A filter that isolates sulfur emissions is supplied with the detector. A filter that isolates phosphorus emissions, and a filter that isolates tin emissions are also available.
