Introduction:
Delivering Clean Gases For Accurate Analyses Enhanced gas quality for maximum productivity The Athena Gas Clean Filter System delivers clean gases, reducing the risks of column damage, sensitivity loss, and instrument downtime. Contaminants in gases can signifi cantly affect your analysis. Oxygen, hydrocarbons, and moisture can cause loss of sensitivity and accuracy of the GC and damage your column. Impurities activate glass wool in liners and accelerate septa degradation, causing high background signals and ghost peaks and leading to time-consuming troubleshooting. Oxygen in the supply gas for ICP-OES or ICP-MS can cause plasma shut-down and loss of sensitivity. Carbon dioxide in supply gas for TOC analyzers causes elevated baselines and loss of sensitivity and accuracy.
