SOLIA MICROGC GAS ANALYZER FOR MSD AND TGA COUPLING Easy to use and efficient for analysis of complex mixtures The SOLIA MicroGC is a very fast gas analyzer using gas chromatography to separate compounds from a gas mixture in less than 3 minutes. It is a modular instrument composed of 1 to 3 complementary analytical modules. Each module can analyze several compounds that are detected by a first non-destructive universal detector, the microcatharometer. Most of the compounds are detected by the catharometer detector in a concentration range of 1 ppm to 100 % with a very good linearity. Coupling to the mass spectrometer improves sensitivity up to 50 ppb and even less. As an option, a quadrupole mass spectrometer (MSD) allows to formally identify each of the separated compounds. A unique interface allows the combination of the two detectors in series without loss of performance. This coupling allows the qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex gas mixtures. Soprane II software SOLIA MicroGC/MSD An efficient tool for coupling to the TGA The SOLIA MicroGC is coupled to the TGA by a heated transfer line, in order to be able to analyze the evolved gases. A heated membrane filter protects the SOLIA inlet against the heaviest compounds and residues. Main page of Soprane II software Soprane II, developed by SRA Instruments, has a powerful graphical environment providing efficiency and ease of use. With Soprane II, you can especially define a method and a sequence of analysis, follow the trends for specific compounds during a TGA analysis. Soprane II manages the mass spectrometer and its Masshunter software and compiles all results in a same report. Unknown gas mixture Application fields: Evolved gases interpretation Research Materials and polymers Isotopic analysis Quality insurance Catalysis The MicroGC coupled or not to the MSD is started by the TGA at the beginning of the cycle and the complete gas composition is obtained within 2 to 3 minutes. This allows you to easily identify and quantify each compound that causes mass loss detected during thermodegradation. Identification is simply performed by comparison with the NIST mass spectrum library. Qualitative and quantitative Modular design, Upgradable by user
