New Product Showcase
The Gulf Coast Conference will sponsor a New Product Showcase to provide a forum for the introduction of new technology and innovation to our attendees. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the meeting from Noon ‐ 1:30 PM there will be special table top displays with new products and technology for your examination. Several vendors will provide these products and personnel to describe them during these specific times in the convention center lunch area.We are asking all Attendees to stop by and take a look at these products and complete an opinion survey about what you see. One survey will be drawn on Wednesday evening from the completed surveys and that person will receive a LIFETIME registration to the Gulf Coast Conference!
The GCC will appreciate your participation, and we know that the participating vendors will as well!

The Tracera high-sensitivity gas chromatograph is equipped with the newly developed barrier discharge ionization detector (BID)which is capable of detecting all types of trace organic and inorganic compounds, with the exception of helium (He) and neon (Ne), at the 0.1 ppm level (i.e. sub-ppm, where ppm refers to parts per million). Tracera GC is applicable for many types of high-sensitivity analyses typically performed with GC systems incorporating multiple detectors. Main Features include: 1. High Sensitivity—Achieves detection sensitivity over 100 times that of TCD, and over twice that of FID. The built-in barrier discharge ionization detector (BID) generates helium plasma. The extremely high photon energy of this plasma ionizes the sample components, enabling high-sensitivity detection. This system achieves at least 100 times the sensitivity of a conventional TCD, and at least twice the sensitivity of FID, enabling the detection of all types of trace components at the 0.1 ppm level. 2. Universal Detector—Capable of detecting both organic and inorganic compounds with no difference in sensitivity. The new BID helium plasma has an extremely high energy. It can detect all organic and inorganic compounds, with the exception of He and Ne, with no difference in sensitivity. It improves analysis sensitivity even with aldehydes, alcohols, and halides, for which sensitivity decreases with FID. A single Tracera system can perform analyses that conventionally required complicated systems equipped with multiple detectors and units. Examples include the analysis of hydrogen and organic compounds such as formic acid, generated as part of the reaction process during artificial photosynthesis, and the analysis of low concentration hydrocarbons and permanent gases generated in lithium ion rechargeable batteries. 3. Long-Term Stability—Adopts electrode-preserving plasma generation technology. With the new BID, the plasma is generated inside a quartz tube, so it makes no contact with the discharge electrode used for plasma generation. As a result, the detector electrode is not degraded, achieving long-term analytical stability.
