TRACE™ 1610 Natural Gas (NG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Analyzers

Select from over 15 turnkey Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1610 Gas Chromatography Natural Gas (NG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Analyzers to conduct standard methods GPA, ASTM, ISO, DIN, and more on your NG/NGL samples.

Select from over 15 turnkey Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1610 Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquid Analyzers to meet increasing natural gas (NG) and natural gas liquid (NGL) demand, production, custody transfer, and consumption.

TRACE 1610 GC Analyzers for NG/NGL conduct analyses according to standard methods GPA, ASTM, ISO, and DIN, including calorific or BTU content, hydrocarbon speciation, and impurities. Choose from low-cost single channel, best-value dual channel, or highly flexible combination systems.

Choice of turnkey NG/NGL analyzers
A complete line of GC analyzers with different configurations are available, all featuring the innovative modularity of our Instant Connect injectors and detectors, providing the highest uptime and easiest maintenance.

Single channel analyzers: lowest-priced systems
Analyze a single sample per analysis using a single channel analyzer for NG or NGL.

Dual channel analyzers: best value systems
Run two different samples simultaneously for improved productivity, or get more data per sample with BTU content and detailed HC profile.

Combination analyzers: most flexible system
A single platform capable of performing all the standard methods on a NG or NGL sample.
