Clarus Nova GC - Reliable Gas Chromatography Workflows

The Clarus® Nova GC is a next-generation gas chromatography platform engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern food safety and quality testing laboratories. Built on decades of proven GC innovation, it delivers highly accurate, reproducible results while enabling faster analysis and greater throughput, critical for labs handling high sample volumes and strict regulatory requirements. 

Designed specifically for workflows such as volatile compound analysis, contaminant screening, and packaging gas testing, Clarus Nova GC provides the flexibility to analyse diverse food matrices with confidence. Its configurable detector options, including the Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) for hydrocarbon analysis, Electron Capture Detector (ECD) for pesticide residue detection, and Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) for permanent gas analysis, ensure comprehensive analytical coverage. This enables laboratories to adapt quickly to evolving food safety standards and testing protocols. 

Productivity is significantly enhanced through advanced automation and high-speed performance capabilities. Features such as Dual Simultaneous Injection (DSI) allow two samples to be analysed in a single run, effectively doubling throughput and reducing turnaround times. Integrated headspace autosamplers and hot-swappable towers enable continuous operation with minimal manual intervention, making it ideal for busy, high-demand food testing environments. 

Clarus Nova GC also helps laboratories maintain audit-ready compliance and data integrity. Automated leak checks, smart diagnostics, and predictive maintenance alerts minimise reruns and downtime, while intuitive SimplicityChrom™ software streamlines workflows, improves traceability, and simplifies reporting. This combination of reliability and usability ensures consistent results across routine quality control and more complex analytical tasks. 

In addition, the platform incorporates energy-efficient architecture and smart carrier gas management to lower operating costs without compromising performance. Built-in safety features, including hydrogen monitoring, leak detection, and automatic shutdown mechanisms, support safe operation in continuous testing environments. 

Overall, the Clarus Nova GC provides food testing laboratories with a robust, future-ready solution that accelerates sample throughput, enhances analytical confidence, and supports compliance with global food safety standards, helping labs deliver accurate results faster while maintaining operational efficiency.
