Analytical instrumentation

A wide range of laboratory and process analytical instrumentation relies on specialty gases. Many gases are used to operate the instrumentation on a daily basis. Other hi...

AAS atomic absorption spectroscopy

Content

This analytical technique, referred to as AAS, uses an extremely high temperature flame from combustion of acetylene and nitrous oxide. Samples are passed into the flame ...

Chemiluminescence

Content

At high concentrations we can see NOx emissions with our naked eye as a characteristic yellow-brown plume. For lower concentrations a chemiluminescence analyser is ideal.

FID flame ionisation detector

Content

A flame ionisation detector (FID) is one of the most common measurement principles for hydrocarbons. It can either be used alone, or combined with gas chromatography, GC-...

Gas chromatography

Content

At the heart of many laboratories involved in the analysis of gases and liquids will be a gas chromatograph. A range of high purity specialty gases and most probably also...

High performance liquid chromatography

Content

HPLC is commonly used in pharmaceutical research and development applications such as drug discovery. Clinical laboratories also rely on HPLC for blood and urine sample a...

ICP inductively coupled plasma

Content

ICP laboratory instrumentation is used in contract laboratories for the analysis of water samples. The technique requires high purity specialty gases argon to create the ...

NDIR & FTIR infrared spectroscopy

Content

NDIR and FTIR are common IR spectroscopy techniques used in environmental monitoring applications for gaseous emissions. They both require high precision calibration gas ...
