Agilent 490 Micro GC

The “Measure Anywhere” Micro GC

9 – 10 – 11 February 2011

The Agilent 490 Micro GC is our fifth generation

rugged and compact analyzer for gas quality

analysis in the laboratory, on-line / at-line and

in the field.

With its genuinely better technology, the Agilent

490 Micro GC gives you greater confidence in your

analysis results and decision making.

Introducing the Agilent 490 Micro GC

Electronic Gas Control

Two bench-top cabinets are

available – the DUAL for 1 or 2

channels and the QUAD for 1 to 4

GC channels.

Every channel is a complete,

miniaturized GC, with independently

controlled injection volume, column

oven temperature and carrier gas.

Modular and “ready-to-go”

Chip Injector

Micro TCD

The Agilent 490 Micro GC provides maximum flexibility and

customization:

• Sampling via sample pump or continuous flow

• Heated or non-heated injector/sample line

• Up to 2 different sample inlets

• Sample inlet at the rear or front

• Up to 2 different carrier gases

• Column back flush option

Designed for flexibility and ease-of-use

490-PRO Micro GC: no local operator required

Designed to be a “system”

component, the 490-PRO Micro

GC does not require an external

computer to generate data and

results. It features on-board

data collection, integration and

results calculation. User defined

information is automatically

send to an external system.

The Micro Gasifier expands the range of samples you can analyze

The Micro Gasifier provides

controlled evaporation of Liquid

Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquefied

Natural Gas (NGA).

In addition high pressure can be

reduced without creation cold spots.

The field case provides “on-the-go” measurements

The field case is compact in size

and weight, and includes carrier

gas supply and battery pack.

Use accessories more conveniently with the integrated accessory bracket

The Micro GC accessory bracket is

an on-board universal mounting

platform for accessories such as

stream selector valve, Micro Gasifier,

Genie membrane filters, pressure

regulator and sample relief valve.

For on-line analysis a 19” rack mounting is available

The 490 and 490-PRO are also available in a 19” rack mounted chassis.

Sampling and sample conditioning devices, such as stream selection

valves and Genie membrane filters, are mounted within the housing.

For production and research, the Agilent 490 Micro GC provides gas analysis in matter of seconds for:

• Natural gas / calorific value determination

• Analysis of simple to complex refinery gases

• Oil and exploration / mud logging

• Analysis and quality control of specialty gases

• Biogas

• Assessing efficiency of catalysts, fuel cell stacks

• Air monitoring
