3000 Micro GC installation service is delivered.

Carrier Gas

 . . . .Recommend carrier gas (e.g., Helium, Argon) purity of 99.9995%, minimum

99.995% if appropriate carrier gas trap is installed. Consult with INFICON for

your specific instrument requirements.

NOTE: A 2 channel 3000 Micro GC tank will last at least one year, application

dependent.

 . . . .Dual Stage Regulator (CGA 580) for each carrier gas(s). Must be capable of

delivering 80-82 PSI to the 3000 Micro GC. Regulator outlet fitting must be

adapted to Swagelok

in order to connect tubing. Use 1/8" fittings or 1/8"

adapters.

 . . . .Carrier Gas moisture/hydrocarbon filter (INFICON Part Number G2870A-01).

These are recommended for use with Molecular Sieve and Alumina Modules.

Tubing and Fittings

 . . . .Copper or stainless steel (pre-cleaned) 1/8" OD for carrier gas connections

between tank regulator and 3000 Micro GC. 3000 Micro GC has a 1/8" Swagelok

male carrier gas connection.

NOTE: Pre-cleaned "GC" grade copper tubing in 50 ft. lengths is included in

INFICON 3000 Micro GC install kit G2860A or can be purchased from

various chromatography vendors.

NOTE: We do not recommend cleaning tubing with a solvent prior to use.

NOTE: Do not use Teflon

or Tygon

tubing for the carrier gas.

NOTE: Collection of male/female Swagelok fittings for regulator, tubing, etc.

This includes nuts, front and back ferrules. Typical size is 1/8". Some

1/4" - 1/8" adapters may be needed if 1/4" tubing is used.

Calibration Gas

 . . . .It is recommended that the user purchase an ample supply of calibration gas that

is specific to the analysis needs from a commercial gas vendor.
