Varian 450-GC Gas Chromatograph Parts Unit with FID and TSD Detectors, 240V 50/60Hz

The Varian 450-GC Gas Chromatograph parts unit is designed for laboratories engaged in advanced gas chromatography applications, particularly in hydrocarbon detection and nitrogen/phosphorus compound analysis. This non-functional unit, sold strictly for parts, integrates two specialized detectors: the Flame Ionization Detector (FID), known for its high sensitivity to volatile hydrocarbons, and the Thermionic Specific Detector (TSD), optimized for selective detection of nitrogen and phosphorus-containing compounds.

This unit is critical for biotechnology laboratories involved in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows requiring precise separation and quantification of volatile organic compounds and trace elements. It offers essential components widely used in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where accurate gas chromatographic analysis supports quality control and experimental validation.

Given its robust detector setup and instrumentation, the Varian 450-GC supports applications in clinical diagnostics, environmental analysis, and industrial biotechnology. This parts unit provides an opportunity to maintain or upgrade existing instrumentation in research facilities focusing on biotech-driven molecular cloning and live-cell metabolic profiling through precise gas-phase compound analysis.
