MultiDetek-Lite (MD-Lite) Compact Gas Chromatograph

Compact 4U rackmount gas chromatograph for multiple trace impurities, from ppb to %.

ModelMD-Lite
SKULD-MD-LITE
CategoryGas Analysis & Chromatography

Key Features

  • Large measurement scale (ppb to %)
  • Isothermal ovens for GC columns (up to 3 in one unit)
  • Chromatography detectors PED / TCD / FID (up to 2 in one unit)
  • Optional online detectors: EC/ZR for trace O2, quartz crystal for H2O
  • Electronic flow controllers for sample and carrier
  • 5" touchscreen display
  • 4–20 mA output per impurity (up to 8) and up to 8 dry contacts
  • Modbus (RS485, RS232 or Ethernet), optional Profibus; LAN/web control

Overview

The MultiDetek-Lite is LDetek's most compact series of gas chromatographs. In its 4U rackmount configuration it offers different detectors, ovens/columns, valves and flow controllers in a cost-saving arrangement for multiple trace-impurity applications. Based on the MultiDetek3 platform, the MD-Lite offers the same performance in a smaller unit when the application requires less complexity.

Working Principle

Sample gas is separated on GC columns in isothermal ovens and measured by chromatography detectors — PlasmaDetek plasma emission detector (PED) for trace ppb/ppm impurities, TCD for percent-level purity, or FID for carbons. Optional online detectors can be added: Ntron SenzTx zirconia or electrochemical sensors for trace O2, and a Michell quartz crystal microbalance (QMA) sensor for trace H2O.

Benefits

  • Cost-saving GC for multiple trace impurities in one 4U unit
  • Same performance as the MultiDetek3 platform in a smaller footprint
  • PED with nitrogen carrier can replace FID without a flammable air/H2 mixture
