SunStar has a large number of modern GC/MS equipment. SunStar's experienced, highly trained staff utilizes 5 Hewlett-Packard GC/MS to analyze both Volatile and Semivolatile Organic Compounds. The combination of Enviroquant and Element Datasystems software enables the organic department staff to analyze, quantitate, and report concentrations of a enormous variety of compounds.
Additionally, SunStar has on line 6 GC's outfitted with combinations of detectors including:
Electron Capture Detectors
Electrolytic Conductivity Detector
Flame Ionization Detector
Photo Ionization Detector
Thermal Conductivity Detector
Both modern state-of-the-art equipment and traditional techniques are used to prepare environmental samples for analysis. SunStar uses such equipment as Archon Auto samplers, Tekmar Purge and Trap Concentrators, and Zymark turbovaps for concentration,.
Our Entech 7100 Preconcentrator and 3100 Canister Cleaner provide precision analysis of air samples from such media as Summa canisters and Tedlar bags.
