Pulse Discharge Detector - D-3-1-HP
VICI's Pulsed Discharge helium ionization Detector (PDD) extends the detection capabilities of the popular Agilent 6890 and new 7890 GCs. The basic operating mode of the PDD can replace many of the detectors currently used by GC manufacturers. Pulsed discharge detector Model D-3-1-HP is designed for plug-and-play installation on Agilent GCs, with models available for the 6890 and 7890. The...
Read More »Valve Actuator is offered in universal and OEM versions.
Universal Valve Actuator permits use ofÃ- single motor and control software to operate any Valco or Cheminert rotary valve, both 2-position and multiposition. All Valco and Cheminert valves and selectors, with range of turning torques, are covered byÃ- 3 actuator versions: high speed, medium speed/medium torque, and high torque. Actuators includeÃ- universal 24 Vdc power supply and...

Cheminert UHPLC Fittings permit directÃ- connection of 360 micron OD fused silica, PEEKÃ-®, stainless, or electroformed nickel tubing without use of liners. Because of fitting's fine 2–56 threads, leak-free connection that seals at pressures in excess of 20,000 psi can be formed with manual tool. Fittings in PEEK can be used safely up to 10,000 psi. Supplied with PEEK or stainless nut,...

MiniPDD Helium Ionization Detector
VICI’s newest member of the Pulsed Discharge Detector (PDD) family is also the smallest and thriftiest. The miniPDD uses about one fifth (20%) the amount of helium as the VICI Valco D-3 and D-4 versions, giving up only a bit of sensitivity and dynamic range in return. It is approximately one half the size of the D-4, but has nearly the same sensitivity — about 100 ppb for fixed gases. With...
