Shimadzu - GC-8A
Manufactured by Shimadzu
Dedicated Single Detector GC
The GC 8 is a single inlet, single detector, gas chromatograph. It's very simple yet robust design makes it perfect for a teaching lab or for a dedicated application in a QC environment. Its all metal construction provides for a GC that is very rugged and can easily withstand the rigors of an industrial QC setting. This system offers a choice of three packed column detectors: FID, ECD or TCD.
