I-GRAPH X Microtechnology Chromatograph Module

Can be configured with several columns and injection loops

The I-Graph X chromatographs all come with a chromatograph module. Microtechnology allows the injector, detector, column and electronics to be combined on a single 13 x 6.5 x 2.4 (L x W x D) board. The module can be configured with different columns and injection loops. The module is also equipped with an internal memory capable of recording 42 measurements.

Progress in the field of chromatography

Standard chromatographs are often bulky constructions and tend to only allow for slow measurement cycles. The I-Graph X series is based on a microtechnology module that brings together for the first time all the key components: injector, detector, column and electronics in one. This is a patented system. The use of microtechnology confers many advantages:

  • Fast heating and cooling of the column
  • Very short measuring cycles
  • Solid TCD detector Compact build with little dead
  • Low energy and gas consumption
  • Lightweight construction

The combination of valve technology and the latest software makes this tool very easy to use. Touch screen devices with multiple USB ports are heralding a new era of chromatography and related-applications.
