Used FINNIGAN GC #9126319 for sale

A FINNIGAN GC is a type of mass spectrometer instrument primarily used in chemical analysis, more specifically chromatographic separations such as gas chromatography (GC). It can detect and measure very small amounts of elements and/or compounds in samples, as low as parts per trillion. This makes FINNIGAN GC one of the most sensitive instruments for chemical analysis and is widely used in fields such as scientific research, environmental testing, and forensic science. GC instrumentation includes an ionization source, an analyzer, a detector, and a data system. The ionization source takes the sample material and converts it into positively or negatively charged ions by adding or removing electrons. The analyzer subsequently separates the ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio. The separated ions then enter the detector where the variations in the electric current are recorded. The measured information is recorded and logged in the data system, usually a computer. The step-by-step nature of FINNIGAN GC allows for very precise chemical and component analysis and separation. This technique is used in industries such as petrochemical, environmental and food-testing, as well as forensic analysis and scientific research. Depending on the components in the sample, different settings may be used. For example, if the sample contains positively charged ions, the instrument can be set to ionize the sample using electrons, while if the sample contains negatively charged ions, the instrument can be set to ionize the sample using protons. The instrument is also highly precise in terms of resolution. It is capable of separating ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing it to detect components in a sample as small as parts per trillion. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require extremely precise and detailed analysis. GC system also features a variety of sophisticated software packages for data analysis, data simulation, data acquisition and other features, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency. Finally, the instrument comes with several safety features, such as Geiger-Muller radiation counters, which assures safety for users while in operation. Overall, FINNIGAN GC is a versatile and highly reliable spectrometer instrument used for a variety of applications, from industrial testing to forensic analysis to scientific research. It is an invaluable tool for accurate and detailed chemical and component analysis.
