@pidgirl's May 2012 E-Newsletter


From PID's to portable GC's and Beyond
                                                  May 2012
Greetings!

I had the honor of presenting the annual Frederick F. Spaziani scholarship award on April 26, 2012 alongside Dr. Walter Johnson at Suffolk University to two very talented young women on theastrophysics track: Elizabeth Rodriguez and Amanda Lewis (L to R above).  Fred Spaziani co-founded  HNU Systems, Inc. with Jack Driscoll in 1973. Together they developed the first commercialphotoionization detector that is now the most important method for measuring volatile organic compounds. Fred left us at too early an age and the award is to help students in science and/or engineering reach their full potential.

High performance real-time detection system
 Model 312

The HNU Model 312 portable Gas Chromatograph (GC) is designed for chromatographic separation, identification, and quantification of chemical components in gas or liquid samples. This is one of our featured fast GC's which utilize the VICI Valco Inc. resistively heated columns which is the subject of an upcoming presentation in the American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Exposition Real-Time Detection Systems Podium Session.

Presentation date/time: Tuesday June 19, 2012 10:50am-11:10am Fast GC-PID/FID Analyses Using Resistively Heated Columns for Rapid Analyses in the Field
