System Capabilities
Traditional GCs lock you into a fixed hardware setup. When test methods change or sample matrices diversify, labs are often forced to purchase another dedicated instrument. The GC60 eliminates this with rapid adaptability: swap detectors in under a minute without tools, reconfigure valves for custom methods, and operate standalone or remote via IoT cloud control. One platform replaces multiple dedicated gas chromatographs.
Maximum Flexibility
Up to 5 detector positions, 8 valve channels, and 3 independent analytical circuits.
Zero Downtime
Swap any detector module in under 1 minute: single module, single cable, zero tools required.
Field & Connected Ready
Standalone local touchscreen operation, onboard sequence storage, and secure web IoT monitoring.
Configuration Decision Tree
Select the system architecture tailored to your sample complexity and separation requirements:
| Analytical Challenge | Recommended Configuration | Capabilities & Best Applications |
|---|---|---|
|
Routine QC (Multi-Sample) Petrochemical, pharma QC, food screening |
Standard Multi-Detector | 2–3 detectors (FID, TCD, ECD) with splitter or sequential switching. Valves: 4-valve box. Run diverse methods without hardware changes. |
|
Complex Matrices & Co-Elution Trace analysis in crude oil, soil extracts, food toxins |
Deans Switch MDGC | Heart-cutting technology: Diverts specific fractions to a secondary column with orthogonal selectivity to resolve co-eluting peaks. Valves: 6-valve configuration. |
|
Maximum Resolution / Unknowns Petroleum fingerprinting, metabolomics, research |
GC×GC Comprehensive 2D | Full multidimensional separation: Entire sample separated across two columns with orthogonal selectivity. Generates structured 2D contour maps for 1,000+ compounds. Valves: 8-valve box with thermal/flow modulator. |
Detector Selection & Sensitivity
With 5 detector slots, mix universal and selective detectors for 100% sample coverage. Swap any module in under a minute:
| Detector | Target Compounds | Performance Specs | Primary Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| FID (Flame Ionization) | Hydrocarbons, solvents, aromatics, organic compounds with C-H bonds. | <1.4 pg C/s detection >10⁷ linear range 1000 Hz data rate |
Petrochemical, environmental VOCs, pharma QC, food safety testing. |
| TCD (Thermal Conductivity) | Universal: Permanent gases (H₂, O₂, N₂, CO, CO₂), water, inorganics. | 800 pg/mL detection >10⁵ linear range <5 min equilibration |
Industrial gas purity, fuel gas analysis, process monitoring, dissolved gases. |
| ECD (Electron Capture) | Selective: Electronegative groups (halogenated pesticides, PCBs). | <10 fg/mL detection >5×10⁴ linear range Micro-cell design |
Trace pesticide screening, environmental contaminants, pharma residues. |
| FPD (Flame Photometric) | Selective: Sulfur and phosphorus compounds. | <110 fg P/s, <5.7 pg S/s 10⁶ selectivity over C |
Organophosphorus pesticides, fuel sulfur speciation, beverage flavors. |
| MS (Mass Spectrometry) | Universal + Identification: All volatile organics with library matching. | NIST library searchable Structural confirmation Full scan / SIM |
Unknown identification, forensic toxicology, complex research matrices. |

Core Proprietary Technologies
1. HPLIS: High Pressure Liquid Injector
The Technology
Direct-mount injector for continuous high-pressure liquid sampling across C1–C40+ with rapid non-discriminatory vaporization. Eliminates manual syringe sampling for pressurized volatile liquids.
Why It Matters
Direct crude oil analysis without manual sample prep; continuous LPG/NGL inline monitoring; complete elimination of operator injection variability.
2. UniLite IoT Cloud Control
The Technology
Web browser control with no proprietary client software required. Real-time run status, method editing, encrypted VPN diagnostics, and automated firmware updates.
Why It Matters
Monitor runs remotely, receive SMS alert notifications on sequence completion or faults, and maintain 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails.
3. Tool-Free Detector Swaps
The Technology
Each detector module swaps in under 1 minute with a single connector and zero tools. Built-in onboard processing and auto-recognition in software.
Why It Matters
Switch from routine FID QC to ECD pesticide screening on the same instrument on the same day without needing a field service engineer.
