Thermo Scientific “instant connect” (iConnect) injectors and detectors redefine flexibility and usability in GC and GC-MS analyses. In two minutes, without special training or tools, you can swap out these modules and reconfigure your instrument for a specific workflow or method. This unique capability can also enable continuous operation or dramatically reduce maintenance downtime — just replace dirty units with clean backups and be back to running samples again in a few minutes.

Outstanding ECD Performance

The iConnect Electron Capture Detector features a miniaturized cell equipped with a purged, removable anode, designed to maximize robustness towards the matrix effect while guaranteeing fast peak detection and maximum sensitivity.

• MDL: Less than 4.5 fg/s lindane
• Linear Dynamic Range: Greater than 10⁴ with lindane
• Radioactive Source: 370 MBq equal to 10 mCi, 63 Ni
• Makeup Gas: Nitrogen or 95% argon/5% methane
• IEC: 0 to 500 mL/min makeup in 0.1 steps

Options for Expansion

For budget-conscious labs, iConnect modules offer the flexibility to start with a single-channel instrument, and expand to multi-injector or multi-detector configurations to accommodate new applications or increased throughput requirements.
