New D2EPC-1 Pressure Sensor Board

The family of D2EPC-1 electronic pressure controllers is growing as more instrument manufacturers are using this state of the art design.

New is a Sensor Board that can sense additional pressures or other signals which can be shared with multiple D2EPC-1 units.

MicroGC Reference Design

Applied Instruments introduces its NextGC® architecture for instrument manufacturers and system integrators. This flexible concept offers all electronic and flow control modules that are used in GC instruments.
Build your own GC
With the NextGC® reference design it is possible for Analyzer and GC manufacturers to design a state of the art instrument in a minimum amount of time. The concept offers analytical excellence and a wealth of communication and interfacing possibilities. At the same time a smart mixture of dedicated and off-the-shelf products guarantee the lowest possible unit cost.



Open system
As a result the instrument manufacturer can fully focus on the analytical performance and esthetics of his product. NextGC® offers a virtually unlimited amount of analytical channels, remote diagnostics, configuration and instrument control using a web interface and much more. This system is truly open, all source code is provided, the concept is not licensed and the off-the-shelf modules can be sourced anywhere.

Digital Flow and Pressure controller

Applied Instruments introduces its new line of fully digital electronic pneumatic control (EPC) modules. The first product in this new line is a fully digital 2 channel pressure and/or flow controller that can be used for GCs in inlet and carrier gas configurations as well as detector gas control for FID and other detectors.
Configuration simplicity
The unit can be set by external software to control a wide variety of different gas types. Using RS485 communication the set-points of the D2EPC-1 can be set to real values such as ml/min. This makes the integration of the product into current or new GC instrument designs a very easy task. To make this possible, the D2EPC-1 is factory calibrated for a wide temperature range and for all possible gases that may be used.
Unique flow restrictor concept
By using a unique design with exchangeable screw-on restrictions with ultra low dead volume, the bare unit can be used in almost any flow or pressure range and flow configuration by simply adding the right restrictions.
Integration flexibility
Different gas tubing connection sizes and standards are available. Different versions of the restriction plugs allow for connecting the product to the connection standard and sizes as used in the instrument in which the D2EPC-1 will be integrated. Currently available are 1/8" and 1/16" in Swagelok® and Valco® versions. Special connection types can be made available upon request. Also the product requires only one supply voltage.
Ultra small footprint
The design of the D2EPC-1 requires only a 26 x 77 mm mounting face for this 2-channel EPC. D2EPC-1 units can be mounted next to each other at a 26mm pitch, including mounting bracket. This allows for a very compact flow arrangement when a large number of controlled flows and/or pressures is required.



Special OEM Versions
In line with Applied Instruments' reference design methodology, instrument manufacturers can benefit from the expertise that went into this product by defining special versions with a different number of controlled flows/pressures or other physical dimensions as well as specific communication protocols.

Universal TCD-controller

The Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) is widely used because it is sensitive, versatile, nondestructive to the sample and has a relative large linear range...

Universal FID-controller

Applied Instruments introduces a high-performance Universal FID-controller, which can readily be used for most current sensing detectors, like Flame Ionization Detector (FID), Photo Ionization Detector (PID), Pulsed Discharge Detector (PDD) and most other ionization and photo detectors. The features include a very low noise level, on-board positive or negative polarization High Voltage (HV) generation, extra output for detector auxiliary modules and a high performance processing engine capable of processing and buffering multiple chromatograms.

The Flame Ionization Detector (FID) is an often-used detector in gas chromatography. The FID is sensitive for most organic components and the FID is mostly used for stationary applications.

New Electronic Pneumatic Control

Analytical instruments, like gas chromatographs, require precise control of gases, for both mass and volume flow and, of course, pressure. Apart from more or less standard flow- and pressure control modules for general instrumentation, Applied Instruments introduces several specialized flow- and pressure controllers targeted for the demanding requirements of analytical instruments.

One of these modules offers very stable split/splitless GC-injector systems, with low mutual cross-modulation of flows and pressures leading to fast and very reproducible injections. Set up using customized and compact manifolds with internal filters and couplings, these modules are straightforward to use.

For more information on these subjects, please contact Applied Instruments directly to start the discussion how to implement and strengthen your ideas!

Analytical Instruments on the Internet

For many applications, like air and water quality monitoring, it is an advantage to have remote data collection. Applied Instruments has developed a MicroWebSystem that can be integrated into your sensor or instrument. With the MicroWebSystem, you use a standard browser to access your (remote) instrument, collect measurement results and change the settings when necessary.

English Website

Until now, the Applied Instruments web site was in Dutch only. From today, the site can also be viewed in English! Both versions will be kept up-to-date in the same way.

Foundation of the Sensor Technology Club

Today, the official start of the Sensor Technology Club was announced as part of de Federatie Het Instrument (FHI). The STC is an industrial group of companies and design centers for sensors and sensor products. The Sensor Technology Club was started with 15 companies, who want to improve sensor development and sensor applications by close contact and co-operation.
