Siemens MicroSAM Chromatographs

• The distributed field installation reduces investment costs, and opens up new fields of application, e.g.:
  • Installation in plant areas where mounting within an analyzer shed is not possible
  • Installation at remote locations without extended infrastructure
• Reduction in laboratory analyses through online measurements
• Low space requirements in analysis cabinets reduce investment costs
• Low maintenance effort and gas/energy consumption reduce operating costs
• High-resolution capillary columns permit fast analyses
• Live injection permits representative sample injections
• Maintenance-free, valveless separating column switching with electronic pressure controllers
• The use of several micro thermal conductivity detectors (multidetection) provides exact measuring results and also validation possibilities
• Versatile networking possibilities for central maintenance and secure data transfer
• Remote monitoring with Windows-based software and Ethernet communication
• Simplified servicing through replacement of modules
