CALIDUS
tm
101 micro Gas Chromatograph
GC analysis for virtually any fixed gas and hydrocarbons up to C
44
for laboratory, at-line,
transportable or online use
CALIDUS Model 101 -
comprised of 3 modules
A single Sample Processing Unit with a standard split/splitless injection port (1:1 up to 1:200) suitable for gas and liquid
samples via either syringe through the septum injections, optional gas, liquid or headspace auto-sampler, or
automated sampling valves. The inlet includes septum purge to prevent bleed components from entering the system.
A single Programmed Temperature Column Module containing the resistively heated steel capillary chromatography
column with necessary hardware, software and electronic control to enable temperature programming from 0.1
o
C to
10
o
C per second from 5
o
C above ambient to 350
o
C depending on the maximum temperature capability of the column
material selected.
A single Detector Module incorporating either a micro Flame Ionization Detector (FID) or micro Thermal Conductivity
Detector (TCD) with the necessary hardware, software and electronic control to provide detector temperature control,
digital output signal and additionally for proper FID fuel supply pressure and auto-ignition.
The micro FID is a fully digital carbon/hydrogen bond detector using the hydrogen flame to burn the sample
components. It uses an electrometer to sense the current changes in the flame cell due to chromatographic
component elution. The data rate is 100 Hz.
The micro TCD is a fully digital, universal detector. The TCD consists of a constant temperature filament that
senses change in power required to hold the filament temperature constant when chromatographic
components elute. The power measurement is used to determine the amount of the component eluting from
the column. The data rate is 50 Hz.
CALIDUS is controlled with ChromPerfect chromatography data system fully integrated with LineUp running on a
Windows PC.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The Model 101 is the simplest configuration of the CALIDUS micro GC systems. It provides ultra
-fast analysis (10 to 50 times faster than conventional lab or process GC’s) of fixed gases and
hydrocarbons to C
44
. It is ideal for sample scouting, methods development and transportable
uses. Simplicity doesn’t negate the powerful capability of this model.
The analyses are used for product specifications testing, product safety, environmental
measurements, process control, catalyst protection, educational tools, spot checks of fuels and
many more.
