Polyarc System
The Polyarc system is a breakthrough innovation that combines catalysis with chemical analysis to revolutionize 60-year-old GC/FID technology. It’s easy to use and seamlessly integrates into new or existing GCs with FIDs.
The Polyarc technology converts all organic molecules to methane after chromatographic separation for a truly uniform FID response. Improve your data quality, diagnose GC issues, and speed up analysis.
The Polyarc system gives scientists the capability to determine purity, quantify unknowns, qualify products, investigate, improve development and more in a simple, fast and more economical way that is transforming the industry.
The Polyarc System features an Optimized Design and Seamless Integration and is the first commercial technology of its kind. The device uses proprietary technologies including novel catalysts, a specially designed 3D-printed microreactor, and fast and seamless integration into existing equipment.
The Polyarc system has a catalytic microreactor that enhances new and existing gas chromatographs (GCs) with flame ionization detectors (FIDs) by converting all organic compounds to methane molecules prior to their detection by the FID. In doing so, the Polyarc system reduces the need to perform time-consuming calibrations by creating a uniform detector response for truly universal carbon detection.
The optimized internal design and catalyst microstructure maintains separation performance and peak shape while increasing sensitivity and enabling accurate quantification without calibration standards.
Benefits of using the Polyarc system
- Better Data Quality
- Improve FID accuracy, precision and sensitivity by detecting compounds once ‘invisible’ and reducing measurement error.
- Better data quality leads to improved decision making and more reliable products.
2. Increased throughput
- Reduce the need for traditional calibration curves and run fewer samples on the GC/FID, which saves time while accurately quantifying all species in sample.
- Simplified workflow means greater productivity.
3. More Economical
Use valuable resources more efficiently by reducing or eliminating time and costs associated with:
- Purchasing/preparing calibration standards
- Analysis time to prepare and run calibration curves
- Increased wear on the GC/FID
