<strong>INFICON</strong> <strong>Introduces</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong><br />
Expands the Horizons of Fast, Transportable <strong>GC</strong> Applications<br />
Syracuse, NY — March 18, 2013: The New <strong>INFICON</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> TM is the first temperature<br />
programmable <strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> that offers fast temperature ramping using capillary columns. It expands<br />
the horizons of fast and transportable gas chromatograph (<strong>GC</strong>) applications with innovations<br />
needed for accurate onsite analysis. Building on proven <strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> technology, coupled with rapid<br />
temperature ramping, <strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> now covers C12+ gas phase analysis with excellent<br />
sensitivity and repeatability.<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> is equipped with a <strong>Micro</strong>-electromechanical system (MEMS) Thermal Conductivity<br />
Detector (TCD) that offers 1 ppm detection limit, which is 10 times more sensitive than a traditional<br />
TCD. The temperature programmable <strong>GC</strong> column focuses late eluting peaks, providing advanced<br />
control over peak resolution and significant sensitivity gain for heavier hydrocarbons.<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> is based on a modular <strong>GC</strong> design. Each module is comprised of an injector, a<br />
temperature programmable capillary column and a detector. The instrument can be outfitted with<br />
one or two modules to meet most application needs. A three and four module version will be<br />
available later this year. The user can easily exchange a <strong>GC</strong> module onsite in minutes to quickly<br />
adapt to new applications or conduct instrument maintenance. The modules can also be easily<br />
adaptable for OEM integration. The MEMS injector in the <strong>GC</strong> module eliminates the complex<br />

valve-switching programming that is typical in a bench top <strong>GC</strong>, and the integrated sample<br />
conditioner in the instrument allows the user to accurately analyze sample gas stream at input<br />
pressures of up to 1000 psi.<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> runs on browser-based software, so it is operating system independent and does<br />
not require a license. The instrument is equipped with a multi-touch front panel display and<br />
wireless network protocol, so the user can choose to run the analysis from the front panel or an<br />
external wirelessly connected computing device. The interface can dynamically adapt to any display<br />
dimension, allowing the user to easily operate the instrument from a tablet, laptop or desktop PC.<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> <strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> offers advanced features in a compact, lightweight chassis that is easily<br />
transportable, allowing for accurate and timely analysis where and when it is needed. The <strong>Micro</strong><br />
<strong>GC</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> is ideal for many applications, including Natural Gas and Extended Natural Gas<br />
analysis, Refinery Gas analysis and Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA).<br />
