Calibration for Humid Conditions Gas analyzer or detector calibration is more effective when the gas standard closely matches conditions of analysis. Percent relative humidity (%RH) in the environment can affect analytical readings as well as contaminate or shorten the lifespan of the detector. To be sure you are calibrating to the same conditions as exposure, you need to create calibration gas that relates to the operational environment. KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. offers the FlexStreamTM Base Module paired with
The “How It Works – Troubleshooting Series” provides simple troubleshooting techniques to optimize your gas standard generator.
Calibration Gas Standards for Food Flavorings and Additives The health and environmental impacts of food additives and preservatives are becoming more prominent. To ensure that foodstuffs meet quality and regulatory guidelines, proper calibration of analyzers for these additives is required. Among the common additives are flavorings like Vanillin, Eugenol and d-Limonene, Terpenes like α-pinene and β-pinene, and preservatives like benzoic acid. While many standards for foodstuffs are provided in liquids for Liquid Chromatography analysis, KIN-TEK
Gas Standards for Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) Simulants Recent world events have reinforced the need for accurate detection and analysis of trace concentration Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs). Calibrating analytical devices using real agents is dangerous and difficult so simulants such as Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and Diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) are used as G-agent simulants and Methyl salicylate (MS) and 2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) are simulants for HD agents. KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. offers several CWA simulants for calibrating detectors or researching
With increased interest in space flight and exploration, monitoring and controlling propulsion compounds and resulting pollutants is critical. Many space propulsion compounds are hypergolic propellants such as Hydrazine, Methyl hydrazine, and Aniline and their resulting atmospheric pollutants, such as Hydrogen chloride, Carbon monoxide/dioxide, and Ethane need to be monitored and analyzed. KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. offers over 550 compounds in Trace Source™ permeation tubes for use in gas standard generators. Trace Source™ permeation tubes are easy
Do you need complex gas mixtures for calibration? The analysis of various gas mixtures such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, breath analysis constituents, and indoor air pollutants requires calibration with accurate and reliable gas standards that mimic actual conditions. Humidity in various environments creates more challenges for accurate quantitative analysis and must be added to the calibration method. KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc. provides products to create complex gas mixtures ranging from 2 or more
