AGE-1000
Air Gas Purifier for Gas Chromatograph
Refining high-purity air lower than 50ppb hydrocarbon concentration
Taking Advantage of the World’s Highest Sensitivity FID

An AGE-1000 air gas purifier can be used to remove hydrocarbons from compressor air in order to generate compressed air with hydrocarbon levels lower than Grade 1 high-purity gas (hydrocarbon concentration of 100 ppb). By reducing the hydrocarbon levels in compressed air, the AGE-1000 enables high-sensitivity GC-FID analysis equivalent to using expensive compressed air cylinders.
Connection Conditions

Evaluation Conditions

- FID Flow Rate: Air 400 mL/min, H2 40 mL/min, N2 30 mL/min
- FID Range: ×1
- Chromatogram Signal Output: Analog
- Response Speed: 50 msec
Note: Install a sealing plug at the FID column connection.
Note: The compressor startup interval is shortened.
Optional Parts

Air Filter/Regulator | Silica Gel Filter |
Compressed air from a compressor contains large amounts of moisture and contaminant particles. If used directly in a gas chromatograph, it can affect analytical results. An air filter/regulator can be used to remove such water and contaminant particles from compressed air. |
If the compressed air supply contains high moisture levels, it can reduce the efficiency of the AGE-1000 hydrocarbon removal and lead to catalyst deterioration in the reactor. To ensure the AGE-1000 operates effectively, the compressed air must be dried using a silica gel filter. |
