Fast, reliable, easy to use and compact - Agilent 490 Micro GC!
Rating: 4.0
Application Area: Natural gas analysis
"We use this equipment for natural gas analysis after membrane separation. We use dense polymeric membranes to separate mixed gases and the performance/selectivity of the membrane is determined by gas composition passing through the membrane. Hence, we need reliable, accurate and reproducible GC which is provided by the 490 Micro GC. It consumes very little sample gas and processing time is short. It is portable and can run remotely. It is compact and can accommodate 4 different columns in one unit. Easy to exchange column and set method parameters. Overall excellent piece of equipment."

Very useful in some functions (fast and simple) but normally it cost too much to run.

"The equipment has unique function and capability and it meets our requirement. However the price should be lower because it is not compensated well. "

Application Area:In the field. Compact and easy to move around.
"It gives the same quality of GC separation as a bigger or regular sized GC. It holds the same size GC column as a regular GC."
