Product catalog summary
Overview: The NovaCHROM 4000 Gas Chromatograph by AGC Instruments is designed for precise analysis of gas mixtures using a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD). It is ideal for permanent gas analysis, offering cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ease of use.
Key Features:
  • Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) with sensitivity to ppm levels and accuracy to <5ppm.
  • Fast detector response time of <1 second (90%).
  • Large 6.5” LCD touch screen for user-friendly operation.
  • Fully automated with integrated diagnostics and configurable alarms.
  • Versatile with packed, micro-packed, and capillary columns for maximum sensitivity.
  • Independent column ovens with individual temperature control.
  • Enhanced connectivity options including USB, RS-232, and RS-485.
Principle of Operation: The TCD uses four sensing elements in a Wheatstone bridge circuit to measure changes in thermal conductivity of sample gases, providing output voltage changes measurable by data capture systems like TrendVision PLUS Software.
TrendVision PLUS Software: This software offers a unified chromatography method with settings for event tables, calibration, and integration. It supports unattended operation and can communicate results using fieldbus protocols or traditional signaling.
Specifications:
  • Detector: TCD with excellent repeatability and auto-calibration.
  • Temperature Range: Operating 30-45°C, Ambient +10°C to +30°C.
  • Response Time: <0.5 seconds (90%).
  • Power: 230 V AC / 50 Hz or 115V AC / 60Hz, 300W.
  • Interface: 6.5” LCD Colour Display with touch screen.
  • Carrier Gas: Helium, Argon, Hydrogen, or Nitrogen.
Applications: Suitable for various industries including industrial gas production, petrochemical refineries, natural gas analysis, and pharmacopeia applications.
Aftersales Care: AGC Instruments provides comprehensive after-sales support through trained distributors and online customer support.
Company Profile: AGC Instruments is a leading manufacturer of gas analysis solutions with over 50 years of experience, offering a range of detectors and emphasizing continuous development and customer support.

NovaCHROM 4000 GC-2

Principle Of Operation The AGC NovaCHROM 4000, using the Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), is typically used for the precise analysis of the components in multiple gas mixtures at percentage and ppm levels. The TCD has four sensing elements which are connected to form an electrical Wheatstone bridge circuit. These elements are typically miniature rhenium-tungsten filaments which are mounted in a metallic cell block. A flow through type thermal conductivity cell is normally used in this analyser. This cell contains a sample and reference gas flow geometry and two elements are installed in each...
