The instrument, Thermo Scientific TRACE 1110 Series gas chromatograph (GC), is a multi-channel instrument designed specifically for the Indian market. Thermo Fisher Scientific designed and manufactures the instrument in India.
The new TRACE 1110 GC offers up to four injectors and four detectors, allowing users to efficiently switch between different applications on the same GC. Compared to other Thermo Scientific GC instruments the TRACE 1110 GC reportedly provides higher reproducibility in terms of retention time and peak area. The TRACE 1110 GC is designed as a robust GC by accepted global standards, offering customised solutions for a wide range of applications in a cost-effective way.
“The TRACE 1110 GC combines high performance, multiple-options and easy operation for customers in India,” said Manish Malu, Director – Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry, Thermo Fisher Scientific India. “At every stage of its development, we have taken continuous feedback from chromatographers and developed the GC with winning qualities to successfully meet local gas chromatographers’ expectations.
The instrument is intended for environmental, food testing, forensic and other analytical laboratories. Its features are as follows:
- New injectors intended to provide enhanced performance and increased sample throughput, even with dirty matrices.
- High-performance detectors designed for enhanced sensitivity for trace level analysis.
- Latest generation of electronic pneumatics with improved pressure and flow control for more consistent retention time reproducibility.
- Turnkey analyser configurations for specific applications.
- Optional built-in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to reduce effects of frequent power failures.
- Chrom-Card software and Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon Data System for full control and operational simplicity.
