What it is

The Perkin Elmer Clarus 690 GC is a gas chromatograph.[3][4][1][5][2]

The Clarus 690 GC is a fully automated gas chromatograph with programmable pneumatic control and a touch-screen interface.[1][5][2]

How it works

The Clarus 690 GC uses programmable pneumatic control for carrier gas, detector gas, and auxiliary gas functions, and the instrument controls temperature and timing through its internal electronics and display.[1][5]

The Clarus 690 GC supports multiple injector and detector arrangements, including packed-column, split/splitless capillary, programmable on-column capillary, and PSS injectors, together with several detector types and auxiliary zones.[1][2][5]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Clarus 690 GC is used for separations that require controlled oven programming, injector temperature control, and detector operation within a single instrument platform.[1][5]

Applications

The Clarus 690 GC supports packed-column work, capillary-column work, autosampler injection, and detector configurations that accommodate a broad range of chromatographic methods.[1][2][5]
