Based on patent pending peak slicing G.C. method that separates completely the Argon and the Oxygen! Hydrocarbon system measurement without the use of a FID. Avoid all inconveniences of a Flame Ionization Detector : Self cleaning detector. No periodic cleaning like the FID; No Fuel and safety valve needed; No air and zero air generator requested.

The K4000ng is a basic mainframe that Contrôle Analytique customizes for your application. The analytical section can be configured to perform parallel analysis. Contrôle Analytique builds the K4000ng with signal conditioning circuits, columns, detectors, valves and ovens depending on the targeted purpose. Going from the % to the ppb level, implementing single or multiple backgrounds or meeting medical specifications, the K4000ng is optimized for your analytical application. With an improved software based on Windows XP Embedded, the K4000ng becomes more and more flexible and user-friendly. Change peak data, detectors, oven temperature, and more!

Gas purifier: the GP-200 series gas purifier is used to generate high quality carrier gases and zero calibration gas. Temperature regulated electronically (intelligent version only) Diagnostic LED indicators (intelligent version only) RS-485 compatible (intelligent version only) Sample stream selection system: the K4000ng can be fed by a Manual Sampling System (MSS) or by a High Purity Sampling System (HPS2). They both allow a remote or a local sample stream selection. Exempt of sample stream cross contamination, air diffusion or dead volume, these sample stream selection systems (U.S. Patent No 6.637.277) are simply the best on the market. Calibration devices: use the GCS-100 Gas Calibration System to start-up your system with the right calibration. This intelligent capillary based orifice gas blending device lets you manage the dilution of a span gas with a zero gas in order to reach a low level of impurity. Slave chassis: for complex configuration, auxiliary chassis can be added to extend the application that requires more valves, columns, detectors or anything else. The K4000ng communicates with its slave chassis by serial port. Auxiliary ovens: different kinds of custom ovens can be added to the system in separate auxiliary chassis to provide optimum temperature changes needed in certain applications (ex: temperature ramping). Proprietary column for the separation of Ar and O2: these columns are used for the measurement of Ar and O2. The plasma detector for an Argon impurity has a sensitivity of 100 ppt. H2 permeation device: used to eliminate hydrogen from a sample when measuring impurities in pure hydrogen. Various traps: different kinds of traps can be mounted on the rear panel to clean a background gas in order to obtain the zero baseline needed for a proper analysis of resolved impurity traces. The trap used is dependant upon the application. Generally speaking, a trap is used in a configuration where the background part is vented. They are available for the H2 and for the O2. Some of these traps can be regenerated directly in place.

Easy configuration and stand-alone operation 8 isolated 4-20 mA outputs for peak values (software calibration) 1 isolated 4-20 mA output for a chromatogram signal (software calibrated) Remote range I.D. contacts (application dependent) 2 alarm dry contacts System status dry contact Electronic carrier and sample flow PID control system Internet cabinet temperature regulation eliminating temperature drift (kept stable for ambient temperature ranging from 15 to 35ºC) Internet/Ethernet control software to control the K4000ng from anywhere around the world

Report monitoring software: Contrôle Analytique can provide you with a software to monitor directly on a PC the chromatograms and the process results computed by the K4000ng. This software uses an Internet/Ethernet link and can also be used to generate statistics and historical values. Quick check configuration: when the background gas and the carrier gas are the same, a quick check allows a total gas purity verification as a GO-NO-GO. One sample injection of all impurities is performed with the G.C. column bypassed. Based on the degree of change on the baseline, the total gas impurity can be evaluated. Taking less than 30 seconds, it is a useful option for troubleshooting a distribution line integrity in a semiconductor industry, for example. In some cases, a different gas than the carrier one can be used. Please consult factory.
