Shimadzu GC-2014 Gas Chromatograph

General Information
The Shimadzu GC-2014 gas chromatograph is 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 2014 is supported by GCSolutions software running on a Dell computer. The instrument utilizes three valves (two 10-ports, and a four port) in order to separate a single sample injection into three separate slugs which are routed to the TCD, FID, and ECD, respectively.
