The Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) requires more types of gas

chromatography analyzers than any other single industry. From the initial analysis

of incoming crude oil to final product analysis to meet customer specification or

EPA regulations, gas chromatography plays a vital role in refinery operations, quality

control, and safety. A gas chromatography platform that is flexible, rugged, reliable

and easy to maintain is paramount to keeping up with the challenging samples,

throughput and demands of a 24/7/365 operating environment.

Our team of experts have over 35 years experience in designing, building and

operating gas chromatographs for the HPI requirements. Each GC analyzer comes

fully assembled, tested and ready to connect to your gases, network, and workflow.

Fast startup, rugged operations and the most uptime are benefits of the innovative

modular Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1300 Series Gas Chromatograph.

Each analyzer is delivered with a complete documentation package that includes

detailed methods, complete plumbing schematics, a troubleshooting guide

and consumables.

The powerful Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ Chromatography Data System (CDS)

is included for a complete turnkey solution, with custom reporting packages and

LIMS interfaces. Additional drivers are available to connect the analyzer to other

CDS platforms, like EZChrom, OpenLAB, and Empower. Contact your local sales

representative for a complete listing.

Innovations that Maximize ROI

It Starts with the Gas ChromatographThe innovation in the TRACE™ 1300 Series GC Gas Chromatograph will change the way you

manage your GC systems - forever and for the better. “Instant Connect” modularity, a patented Thermo Fisher Scientific technology, has completely

revolutionized GC design. These modules incorporate all relevant pneumatic hardware and

electronic parts necessary for making the injector or the detector a fully self-sufficient sub-

unit of the instrument. The modules are plugged in to the top part of the GC, automatically

configured into the system, and connected to the gas supply lines. Installing a module takes

only two minutes.

• No special training required - reduce training costs

• No need for a service call - reduce cost of ownership

• No extended downtime - higher uptime and more samples per month

Gas Chromatograph, Valves, Plumbing and Valve OvensEach HPI GC analyzer is delivered ready to run your samples. Our solutions maximize

performance and minimize footprint.

Compact Valve Oven - simplified configurations• Valves: Two heated or unheated

• Maximum temperature: 180 °C

• Easy access bulkhead In/Out fittings

Auxiliary Oven - increased capacity, flexibility and capability• Valves: Up to six heated and two unheated rotary valves

• Maximim temperature: 350 °C

• Room for multiple columns

• Optional separate column oven module for additional isothermal zone

• Optional two detector modules on top - simultaneous and independent

4-channel capability

We deliver more to meet your demandsThermo Fisher Scientific HPI GC analyzers are designed, built and tested to meet

method requirements, withstand the rigors of high throughput production labs, and increase

analytical performance.

• Accurate and Reproducible - Confidence in results every time

• Robust - Built to optimize high sample loads

• Reliable - Maximized throughput and minimized downtime
