Clarus 580: A Reliable Gas Chromatograph for Accurate and Reproducible Analyses
The Clarus 580 from PerkinElmer is a fully automated gas chromatograph designed to meet the demands of laboratories involved in both routine testing and advanced research protocols. It combines high performance, user-friendly operation, and robust construction, while providing an optimized working environment for the operator.
This system features a high-capacity oven that enables precise thermal control with ramping temperatures up to 450 °C and exceptionally short cool-down times. This precise temperature management, combined with multi-ramp programming, ensures optimal reproducibility of results. All functions are controlled via an intuitive touchscreen interface, offering real-time chromatogram display, multilingual support, and alarm management. This interface simplifies method setup and monitoring—even for non-expert users—and enhances day-to-day user comfort.
The Clarus 580 is compatible with a wide range of injectors and detectors, which can be operated simultaneously with independent temperature and pressure settings. It supports modular configurations such as split/splitless injectors, programmable or on-column options, and detectors including FID, TCD, ECD, PID, NPD, and FPD. With its advanced PPC (Programmable Pneumatic Control) technology, each flow, pressure, or velocity parameter can be adjusted with precision, while automatically compensating for ambient temperature and pressure fluctuations.
An optional autosampler allows automated injection of over one hundred samples, delivering excellent reproducibility even with very small volumes. The innovative Swafer™ technology provides additional flexibility, enabling seamless switching between columns, injectors, and detectors without interrupting the ongoing analysis. This level of customization makes the Clarus 580 an ideal solution for laboratories seeking reliable performance, measurement stability, and high productivity—all while maintaining full control over every step of the analytical process.
