High-Sensitivity Simultaneous Analysis of Inorganic Gases and Light Hydrocarbons using Nexis GC-2030 Dual BID System

Introduction

Analyses for inorganic gases and light hydrocarbons are implemented in a variety of fields including petrochemistry, catalysts, batteries and other resource and energy fields, and environmental fields. The barrier discharge ionization detector (BID) installed in Nexis GC-2030 gas chromatograph is capable of detecting a wide variety of components with high sensitivity. Thanks to Shimadzu's proprietary barrier discharge technology, this detector features high sensitivity while maintaining the same level of stability as the previous general-purpose detectors. In this Application News, we introduce a high- sensitivity simultaneous analysis of inorganic gases and light hydrocarbons using Nexis GC-2030 gas chromatograph, which is equipped with two columns and two BID detectors.
