Gas Chromatography is an essential part of any modern laboratory. It is a powerful tool that utilizes fluid’s properties in order to get detailed reports on the basic compounds that constitute the sample.
The applications vary from water, pesticides, gases, to hydrocarbons and energy. Agilent’s 8890 GC system, combined with Wasson-ECE application, gets the laboratory analyst a first-class accuracy. The system and the applications form a turn-key solution to the customer with unmatched accuracy.
When it comes to LPG, Natural Gas, or Fuel analyses, The 8890 GC system with Wasson-ECE application produce the most accurate results possible. The complete system is designed, built, tested, and results will be approved by the customer’s side prior to shipping the system.
In addition to the installation and training of lab staff, with our partner, Wasson-ECE, we guarantee the best after-sales service for all supplied systems.
