Miniaturized gas chromatography

WHY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY IS STRATEGIC

Gas chromatography (GC) is a key analytical technique for the identification and quantification of gaseous compounds in environmental matrices. It is particularly effective for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odorous emissions and complex gaseous mixtures, even at low concentrations.


WHAT PROAMBIENTE DOES

PROAMBIENTE develops and applies customized gas chromatography solutions, designed according to the specific application context and monitoring requirements.

Activities include both laboratory-based analytical services and the development of miniaturized gas chromatographic systems, designed for field applications, integration into environmental monitoring platforms, deployment in non-conventional operational environments.


    HOW THE SERVICE WORKS

    The service is based on the tailored configuration of the analytical chain, which may include:

    • selection of dedicated chromatographic columns
    • integration of appropriate detectors (e.g. PID, TCD or others, depending on the target compounds)
    • development of custom analytical protocols

    System miniaturization enables reduced footprint and energy consumption, increased portability, easier integration with other sensors and environmental monitoring platforms.

      These solutions can also be combined with complementary analytical approaches, including dedicated sampling systems, continuous monitoring sensors, multi-instrument analytical configurations, to provide a more comprehensive characterization of gaseous emissions and environmental matrices.
