Powerful Gas Analysis, Minimal Footprint

The CompactGC4.0 brings high-performance Gas Analysis to your lab in a sleek, space saving design in the industry standard 19” rack. Offering up to four independent analysis channels and a wide variety of detectors, it delivers outstanding flexibility to meet diverse application needs.

FAST – get instant insights

CompactGC4.0 delivers fast and reliable chromatographic results, with typical runtimes ranging from 2 to 120 seconds. This enables precise monitoring of chemical processes and efficient execution of analytical experiments. With run time equal to cycle time, the system is instantly ready for the next analysis – ideal for high-throughput environments where speed and accuracy are critical.
