Shimadzu GC-2014 Greenhouse Gas Analyzer

General Information

The Shimadzu GC-2014 greenhouse gas analyzer is a gas chromatography system equipped with FID (with methanizer), ECD (Ni63), and TCD detectors, and is set up for analysis of N₂O, CH₄, CO₂, CO, O₂, and N₂.  The detection/quantitation limits of the instrument are as follows: 

• N₂0: 50ppb to 100ppm by ECD
• CO₂, CO: 1ppm to 1% by methanizer and FID, 10ppm to 10% by TCD
• CH₄: 0.1ppm to 1% by FID
• O₂, N₂: 100ppm to 20% by TCD

The Shimadzu GC-2014 is supported by GC Solutions software running on a Dell computer.
