Product description

Activated charcoal trap removes hydrocarbons from carrier gases in analytical labs, lasting ~6 months at 10 ppm.

The Supelco 24518 Big Supelpure Hydrocarbon Trap is a gas contaminant removal device designed for laboratory use, particularly in mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry applications. Featuring activated charcoal media, it effectively adsorbs hydrocarbons and other impurities from carrier gases such as air and hydrogen. This unit is optimized to operate efficiently for approximately six months when exposed to carrier gases with a total hydrocarbon concentration of 10 ppm, ensuring high gas purity for accurate analytical results.

This gas purification trap is critical in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows, where carrier gas purity directly affects bioprocessing accuracy and analytical sensitivity in techniques such as mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. Its role in removing hydrocarbon contaminants makes it essential for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and synthetic biology research that require rigorous gas contaminant control.

The compact form factor and reliable contaminant adsorption facilitate seamless integration into laboratory gas systems, enhancing laboratory gas cleaning protocols and supporting reproducible results in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering applications. Widely used in analytical instrumentation setups, the Supelco hydrocarbon trap contributes to maintaining the high fidelity of mass spectrometric analyses vital for advanced biological research and quality control.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
