The new Restek methanizer (CH4izer) for Shimadzu GCs allows ppb-level determination of CO and CO2 using a cost-effective FID instead of more expensive instrumentation.

This unit is factory set to 380 °C (± 1 °C) for optimal catalytic conversion, but the temperature can be adjusted as desired with the touch of a button. Less cumbersome than other models, the Restek methanizer is designed for easy installation and fast catalyst tube replacement so you spend more time analyzing samples and less time on maintenance.

Methanizer (CH4izer)

Restek Corp.

Low-level detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is critical for many applications. Restek’s methanizer (CH 4 izer) allows ppb-level determination of CO and CO 2  using a cost-effective GC-FID instead of more expensive instrumentation. The methanizer is factory set to 380 °C to ensure efficient and complete conversion of CO and CO 2  to CH 4 , but the operator can easily adjust the temperature as desired with the touch of a button. This unit controls temperatures precisely and reliably to within  ±  1 °C of the defined set point and the actual temperature is displayed in real time on an easy-to-read monitor. The Restek methanizer is less cumbersome than other models and is designed for easy installation and fast catalyst tube replacement so you spend more time analyzing samples and less time on maintenance. ​Key Features: Allows ppb-level GC-FID determination of CO and CO2 without expensive equipment. Precise temperature control ensures complete conversion of CO and CO2 to CH4. Simple, reliable operation—factory-set temperature (380 °C) can be adjusted with just the touch of a button. Convenient installation kit (sold separately) includes all parts needed for quick installation into any Agilent GC. Fast, easy catalyst tube replacement keeps maintenance time to a minimum.
