Chromatotec Group and Knauer by Mazet : the alliance of liquid chromatography experts
Chromatotec Group, French specialist in manufacturing turnkey solutions for gas and liquid analysis, and Mr. Farokh Mazet, expert in liquid chromatography, are combining their expertise to develop transportable analysis systems by liquid chromatography. These solutions are dedicated to crude oil identification by GPC-UV/IR and the measurement of aldehyde and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by LC/UV.
Mr. Farokh Mazet is the manager of the company Knauer by Mazet, official representative in French territory of the Knauer brand, a German manufacturer of scientific instruments for liquid chromatography.
Chromatotec® developed a transportable HPLC system for a big French industrialist. This system is composed of two suitcases : an “order” suitcase with a fixed frame and integrating an impact protection damping system, and an “analytical” suitcase which integrates a GPC analytical system with an auto-sampler, a pumping system, a column and a UV detector. This suitcase of less than 23kg with specific design is perfectly adapted to transport into the luggage bay of planes.
Chromatotec ® also proposes a range of liquid chromatography by HPLC, LC, GPC…, but also a rheometer in transportable case and a DSL system (Dynamic Scale Loop) for the analysis of precipitations and deposition of scale in piping systems like oil or water pipelines.
These two new systems rely on electronic cards with technology owned by Chromatotec® group (airmotec cards, Chromatotec® software with its own supervision system). These solutions also include the automatic preparation of samples (with viscosity measurement, dilution, cleaning…) that involve the validation of samples before the injection in the chromatograph.
The combination of the expertise of two manufacturers in chromatography will allow to propose specific solutions for the industry, refineries and petroleum sites for example, allowing fast and reliable on-field analysis.
About Knauer by Mazet group
Managed by Mr. Farokh Mazet, Knauer by Mazet is the official representative of the Knauer brand on French territory.
