EST Analytical LGX-50 for Methane in Water

The LGX-50 automates the preparation of water samples for headspace analysis of dissolved gases such as methane, ethane, and ethene. Traditionally, RSK-175 testing has been labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring manual vial preparation. The LGX-50 eliminates this step, streamlining workflows and ensuring compliance with EPA Method 5035 and ASTM D8028. By automating dissolved gas extraction, laboratories can boost throughput, reduce errors, and deliver more consistent results for shale gas and environmental testing.
