Research and Development

The research and development is vast and constantly changing. However, a common thread in all components of this area is the flexibility to make best use of the material resources available.

GasMix ™ meets this need by enabling the user to create THE gas it needs at a specific time. To create its standard way to give more freedom of action to the user. Freedom vis-à-vis the gas supplier: the controls are simpler and less frequent.

Vis-à-vis freedom of its analytic applications: it becomes possible to create a standard with a ratio between the A and B controlled compounds and to form or create a gas matrix of different compositions.

Vis-à-vis freedom of his schedule: GasMix ™ saves considerable time savings thanks to the programming of injection sequences.

Application examples

GasMix ™ :

• Study of the effectiveness of a catalyst The gas diluter-mixer GasMix ™ to AlyTech helped one of our customers to create an atmosphere with nitrogen oxides concentration is known and controlled to evaluate the efficacy of a biofilm innovative concrete. This assembly has generated an atmosphere with a selected concentration of nitrogen oxides and a controlled degree of humidity, for closer environmental conditions.
• Characterization of interference phenomena on an analyzer The objective is to provide mixtures ranging from 4 to 8 compounds (+ diluent), including alkanes, alkenes and other compounds such as N2O or CO2. Sequences will be performed for all mixtures and it is not desirable to have to frequently change bottles on RDM for a compound, meaning that only one bottle will be used for a compound and assigned to a channel.

To meet this need, it is a GasMix ™ Hurricane, with 10 tracks, was used.

Zephyr : A strongly experimental laboratory we work with designs and develops innovative instruments in order to implement from ground stations, from airplanes or balloons and from satellites. One of his main techniques is on the gas chromatography to study the chemical composition of the atmosphere and soil of the terrestrial planets. Zephyr helps calibrate their GC analyzers.
