Thermal Analysis of Nitrosamines
 Nitrosamines represent an important class of contaminants in air, soil and water environments, as well as in food, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages.
They are of special interest because they have been shown to be carcinogenic. Click here for more information about RJLG’s expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation for the analysis of these compounds of environmental concern.

Gas Chromatography / Thermal Conductivity Detector / Flame Ionization Detector - Methanizer
 RJLG is expanding its use of gas chromatography (GC) instrumentation by adding a gas chromatography / thermal conductivity detector / flame ionization detector – methanizer to our current capabilities. The Company envisions using this instrument for the analysis of gas product purity, gas piping purity, and natural gas/BTU. The GC also has the capability to test compressed air as well as measure ambient air quality, indoor air quality, and medical air purity.
This new instrument has several unique features that will add value to RJLG’s analytical capabilities, including:
- Dual detectors in series (TCD, FID) for increased application versatility
- A 10-port gas sampling valve, sample loop, and two column combination, providing the capability to separate hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, C2-C6 hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide with a single injection
- A 10-Stream selection valve autosampler, allowing automated sampling and analysis of up to 10 gas samples at a time
- Optional direct on-column or gas sampling loop injection capabilities
