PEAK PERFORMER 1 RCP
Simple, accurate measurements.
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.

Technical information
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
