CALIDUSModel 101 -
comprisedof 3modules
A singleSampleProcessingUnitwitha standard split/splitless injectionport (1:1up to1:200) suitable for gasand liquid
samples viaeither syringe through the septum injections, optional gas, liquidor headspaceauto-sampler, or
automated samplingvalves. The inlet includes septumpurge toprevent bleed components fromentering the system.
A singleProgrammedTemperatureColumnModule containing the resistivelyheated steel capillary chromatography
columnwithnecessaryhardware, softwareandelectronic control toenable temperatureprogramming from0.1

A singleDetectorModule incorporatingeither amicroFlame IonizationDetector (FID) ormicroThermal Conductivity
Detector (TCD)with thenecessaryhardware, softwareandelectronic control toprovidedetector temperature control,
digital output signal andadditionally for proper FID fuel supplypressureandauto-ignition.
ThemicroFID is a fullydigital carbon/hydrogenbonddetectorusing thehydrogen flame toburn the sample
components. It uses anelectrometer to sense the current changes in the flame cell due to chromatographic
component elution. Thedata rate is100Hz.
ThemicroTCD isa fullydigital, universal detector. TheTCD consistsof a constant temperature filament that
senses change inpower required tohold the filament temperature constantwhen chromatographic
components elute. Thepowermeasurement isused todetermine theamount of the component eluting from
the column. Thedata rate is 50Hz.
CALIDUS is controlledwithChromPerfect chromatographydata system fully integratedwith LineUp runningona

SIGNIFICANCEANDUSE
TheModel 101 is the simplest configurationof theCALIDUSmicroGC systems. It providesultra
-fast analysis (10 to50 times faster than conventional labor processGC’s) of fixedgases and
hydrocarbons toC
44
. It is ideal for sample scouting,methodsdevelopment and transportable
uses. Simplicitydoesn’t negate thepowerful capabilityof thismodel.
Theanalyses areused for product specifications testing, product safety, environmental
measurements, process control, catalyst protection, educational tools, spot checksof fuels and
manymore.
