Pollution Srl Italy is proud to present the revolutionary microGC. The goal was to obtain a real user friendly, portable and flexible instrument; Pollution succeeded with a very light and small ‘all-in-one’ analyser. The instrument is based on two changeable analytical modules including a μ-injector, a GC-column and a TCD μ-detector, which allow to detect a large number of gas substances. The miniaturisation enables quick analysis and high sampling frequencies. The VEGA-GC is able to carry out analysis on site in complete autonomy since it has already embedded: rechargeable and ‘hot-changing’ batteries; disposable carrier gas cylinder; and computer with touch-screen control and ‘MC-PLAN’ (management software).

The software ‘MC-PLAN’, hearth of the system, is very friendly and realised thinking to the different levels of operators experience: ‘user mode’ to select methods, start routine analysis and read the results; ‘expert mode’ to prepare the analysis methods; and ‘master mode’ for calibrations and technical configurations. The software allows also to setup automatic and continuous monitoring, see the time graph of concentrations, calculate minimal, average and maximal values, get alarms for exceeding the desired set limits Several communication ports allow it to activate external events and alarms, to command optional accessories such as the VEGA-MPS” (multipoint sampler) and ‘Concentrator’ (to improve the sensibility to ppb), to communicate with other devices and to connect to the net for remote control.
