Zero Air · 19″ rack unit

GC Plus Rack Zero Air Generator

The VICI DBS® GC Plus Rack Zero Air Generator utilizes compressed air that is prefiltered to 5 microns and then purified using a state of the art combined heated catalyst module. The output zero grade air is free from total hydrocarbons to <0.1 ppm, making it ideal for all FID applications. This purity level (measured as methane) produces a low signal to noise ratio, ensuring a flat and stable analyzer baseline.
