SeaPORT Mini GC
The SeaPORT Mini-GC features an oven-less heating technology with fast heat up and fast cool down times. Sensing is performed by a micromachined (MEMS) proprietary sensor array technology and integrated platform. The Mini-GC system requires no carrier gases—reducing the need and cost of consumables.
