The 490-GC Micro-GC is a rugged, compact, laboratory quality gas analysis platform that always delivers the information you need, wherever you need it. When the composition of gas mixtures is critical, this fifth generation micro-gas chromatograph generates more data in less time for faster, and better, business decisions.
The Agilent 490-GC is a fifth-generation micro-gas chromatograph offering laboratory-quality results in a compact, rugged design. It features modular flexibility with up to four separate GC channels that can operate individually or together, allowing for customized configurations including bench, rack-mount, and portable versions. The system utilizes micro-machined technology, such as a silicon micro-machined injector and thermal conductivity detector (u-TCD), to achieve extremely rapid separations of gases in seconds.
