The new Tracera gas chromatograph reportedly offers a solution to scientists’ most challenging trace analysis needs. Based on the GC-2010 Plus and integrating the new BID-2010 Plus barrier discharge ionization detector, this instrument makes it possible to reveal trace components not easily detected by other devices.

The instrument can reportedly provide high-sensitivity analysis of organic compounds, permanent gases and light hydrocarbons with the BID-2010. The BID can create ionization from a helium-based, dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Compounds that elute from the GC column are ionized by the helium plasma energy, detected by the collection electrode and processed as peaks.
