Universal LC-GC Interface for all GCs
The universal interface for professional and routine capable LC-GC coupling applicable for all GC and GCMS systems
Since decades the concept of coupling HPLC to GC is well-known. Only recently, this technology reached the required robustness and capability for a routine application. An essential application is the determination of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food and packaging (MOSH/MOAH). However, many other applications are feasible using this technique as for example the determination of sterols for quality control, the determination of PCB and PAH in oils or the analysis of plasticizers and pesticides in food. The operator benefits from a high level of automation, high throughput, minimization of contamination, excellent reproducibility and increased sensitivity. The upstream LC serves the matrix separation. Thus, only relevant fractions for the measurement of the sample enter the GC.
Axel Semrau® developed the LC-GC Interface, a device that makes the above-mentioned technique available for all gas chromatographs and GC-MS systems. The LC-GC module includes all necessary gas regulations, valve control and the essential temperature and read-out units.
