- Sandia has developed a novel micro gas analyzer based on tiny (0.1 cm3) gas chromatograph columns that separate complex chemical mixtures for accurate analysis. The breakthrough design achieves “two-dimensional” separation on two different columns, with the capacity to separate more than 300 compounds in four seconds. This enables a fieldable detection capability for military and homeland security applications that avoids the high false alarm rates suffered by previously available high-speed chemical sensors.
