Installed in the standard port of a gas chromatograph (GC), the Model 5370 XSD detects halogen-containing compounds eluting from the GC’s capillary column. This instrument is unique in the fact that it doesn’t contain radioactive sources or use organic solvents like other halogen selective detectors. This eliminates the need for catalyst tubes, solvents, resin cartridges, pumps, and transfer lines.
The 5370 XSD comes with a heated base assembly which provides improved baseline stability and easy column installation.
XSD Features:
- High halogen selectivity vs. hydrocarbon simplifies analyses and minimizes (or eliminates) the need for sample preparation
- High detector sensitivity permits very low-level selective analysis of halogen-containing (Cl, Br, F) compounds
- Unique jet design minimizes peak tailing due to unswept dead volumes
- Requires only air to operate
- Designed to operate on most GC makes and models
- No routine maintenance required
- Enhanced venting diverts solvent before entry to the reactor
