PEAK PERFORMER 1 RCP

The Peak Performer 1 uses a reducing compound photometer (RCP) to measure trace impurities down to part per billion levels, while offering a wide linear range for simple, accurate measurements.

The PP1 technology has proven to offer a more cost-effective and user friendly alternative to other instruments for similar applications. In addition, Peak Labs practical experience and ability to customize to suit your applications makes Peak Labs your partner, not just your supplier.

Please contact us at Peak Laboratories or your local sales representative for custom applications and further information on our standard applications. The Peak Performer 1 (PP1) gas chromatograph (GC) can be optimized for your analytical needs in a variety of matrix gases. Typical applications are provided below:

  • H2 and CO in UHP bulk process gases (e.g. N2, Ar, O2, He)
  • CO in atmospheric research and continuous monitoring stations
  • H2 in groundwater and sediment studies
  • C2H4 in air
