UFRGA Series
Nexis GC-2030 BIDUFRGA

The Ultrafast RGA system utilizes the new Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector (BID) technology coupled with Nexis GC-2030 to create new system GC for ultrafast, high-sensitivity analysis. Since the electrode creating Helium plasma is totally isolated from the carrier gas, there is no chance to contaminate this electrode with a dirty sample. This enables long-term stability.
Ultrafast Analysis
- UFRGA system completes a normal refinery gas analysis in 6 minutes.
- Stable Helium plasma achieves excellent peak repeatability performance.
- Intelligent flow controller AFC-2030 and advanced pressure controller (APC) provide excellent retention time repeatability.
- BID technology enables high-sensitivity analysis.
- Extended hydrocarbons such as C6 – C13 can be analyzed using an additional FID detector.
