The PerkinElmer® Clarus® 580 Gas Chromatograph (GC) is a fully automated gas chromatograph. All instrument functions are set up and monitored through a touch screen. Up to two injectors may be installed and operated simultaneously with independent temperature control. Every injector is available with PPC or conventional pneumatics, Unique PerkinElmer' PreVent sample management system is available only on the Clarus 580 GC with PSS or split/splitless capillary injector and PPC pneumatics. Up to two detector modules may be installed and operated simultaneously with independent temperature and pneumatic control.
