Focus GC Gas Chromatograph - Fair Condition

Thermo Scientific Focus GC: optimal performance for quality control

The Thermo Scientific Focus GC is a gas chromatograph designed for laboratories seeking both reliability and ease of use. Its compact design allows for seamless integration into small spaces while offering capabilities worthy of a standard-size system. It is particularly suited to quality control environments and analyses requiring high productivity.

Equipped with components derived from the TRACE GC Ultra, the Focus GC incorporates state-of-the-art electronics that guarantee accurate and reproducible results. Its large, easily accessible oven chamber facilitates the installation of capillary columns, allowing for increased flexibility of use. Users benefit from rapid cooling and heating, optimising analytical cycles for improved throughput.

The Focus GC has an intuitive user interface that simplifies control of key functions while restricting access to critical parameters for increased safety in routine environments. Its real-time self-diagnostic system and  deviation log ensure reliable monitoring of operation, while the automatic leak check function helps maintain the integrity of analyses.

The chromatograph is compatible with various automatic samplers such as the AI 3000 II and the TriPlus Autosampler. This compatibility allows optimal adaptation to specific laboratory requirements, whether for low sample volumes or series requiring high throughput. For more complex applications, a 6-way sampling valve module is also available, expanding the range of applications in the petrochemical and industrial sectors.

Thanks to its robust design and precise pneumatic modules, the Focus GC offers perfect control of gas pressures and flow rates, including ambient temperature and pressure compensation. This operational stability makes it a benchmark instrument for chromatographic analyses requiring rigour and reliability.

The Thermo Scientific Focus GC combines compactness, performance and safety for successful routine analyses, while adapting to changing laboratory needs thanks to its scalable architecture.
