Ecology mode
Eco-Friendly Design for Lower Running Cost in the Laboratory

Equipping the instrument with "Ecology mode" reduces the power consumed in analysis standby mode by 36 %, compared with the previous model. In nighttime GC/MS operation, the Ecology mode can be set automatically, which makes it possible to reduce unnecessary power consumption.

Reduction of Power Consumption in Analysis Standby Mode
When the Ecology mode is entered, unnecessary power consumption by the GC, MS, and PC is automatically eliminated. The consumption of carrier gas is also automatically reduced. Furthermore, the Ecology mode can be entered automatically after continuous analysis, so power and carrier gas can be saved automatically after the completion of nighttime analysis.

Reduction of Annual Power Consumption
If Ecology mode is used over one year of operation*), power consumption can be reduced by 26 % and CO2 emissions can be reduced by approx. 1.1 tons.*) This is based on 6 hours of use per day for 260 days over the course of a year under our standard analytical conditions.
