(max 24 TCDs for %
measurement)
— 2-cell Thermal Conductivity with filaments
— Flame Ionization or Flame Ionization with Filament TCD
(Max 3 FIDs for ppm HC
measurement and
6TCDs for % measurement)
— Flame Photometric

sulphur measurement)
— Electron Capture
— Helium Ionization
— Electrolytic Conductivity

Each Maxum Ed II can effectively replace the job of upto 5 traditional GCs without operation
compromise. The cost saving in GC shelters and accessories is upto 70% of total analyzer system cost!

The Benefits of More Detectors - Parallel Chromatography
More detectors allow more applications per oven
SSSR
— Critical/control service can be measured in unprecedent fast
cycle time
— Critical/control service can also have redundant application
including oven in one GC
— Complex analyzer can be replaced by Maxum Ed II because of
faster analysis time and more components measured

The Benefits of More Detectors – Inter-column Detectors,
The Siemens Standard Feature!

Adequate detectors ensure that Inter-column detectors are always considered.

Traditionally, detectors take-up oven space, micro-processor power, and incur cost. Therefore, GC vendors do omit inter-column
detectors to cut cost.

In a typical GC application, the first column provide coarse separation of the sample. Then the sample is switched to various columns
for further specific fine separation. The switching is basically determined by time.

Inter-column detectors eliminate time consuming and tedious guess work when deciding oven flow path switching timing between
columns. This happens whenever the columns aged or are replaced.

The Benefits of More Detectors - Power Made Simple

More detectors allow more applications per oven
— Two or more streams can be analyzed in parallel instead of
stream switching. Therefore all streams results are updated in
each cycle of analysis.
There are enough detectors to standardised and simplify
chromatography application methods
— Applications are broken down into simple standardised subapplications called Applets.
— Applets reduces cost by reducing complexity in user
understanding, training and maintenance.

Carrier Gas Pressure Control is a Standard
Not an Option!

Upto 8-channel Electronic Pressure Control
— Absolute digital control of carrier gas pressures. No more tedious flow
adjustment on site start-up and routine maintenance.
— The GC oven always involves various carrier gas flow paths to
different analysis columns. The source carrier gas pressure therefore
varies because different columns have different length and separation
time.
— Traditionally, needle valves are used as restrictors to vary the source
carrier gas pressure. These needle valves always creep during
transportation and overtime requiring frequent tedious flow adjustment
maintenance.
