Partnership Opens Online Analyzer Applications for VGA-100 in Hydrocarbon Processing Market
Austin, TX – March 16, 2016
On the heels of Pittcon 2016, VUV Analytics Inc., manufacturers of the VGA-100 vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) detector, and Wasson-ECE Instrumentation are pleased to announce an exclusive distribution partnership. Under this agreement, Wasson-ECE has the exclusive rights to distribute the VGA-100 gas chromatography detector integrated with the Wasson-ECE enclosures and process chromatography technology to provide fully automated process analyzersinto hazardous locations within the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) market.
The demanding environment of online analyzers necessitates advanced integration between the Wasson-ECE Eclipse™ and VUV Analytics’ VGA- 100 detector. This integrated solution is expected to result in reduced run and analysis times, improved data integrity and excellent reliability, resulting in greater QA/QC management capabilities for HPI customers.
Wasson-ECE is considered an industry leader in the online analyzer market for HPI, known for their expertise in configuring and modifying new or existing gas chromatographs to achieve highly-reliable online process throughput in complex and demanding environments. With over 30 years of experience at providing analytical solutions in over 45 countries, Wasson-ECE is a trusted provider in developing custom turn-key chromatography solutions.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Wasson-ECE to further the application reach of the VGA-100 into the online market.” says Sean Jameson, VP of Business Development at VUV Analytics, Inc. “We believe the VGA-100 is uniquely suited to meet the challenging analytical requirements of the online market. However, this is a market which has very high standards for performance and support. VUV Analytics would not have access to this market without a partner like Wasson-ECE. They have an excellent track record in this community and by combining our technologies, we are able to bring our innovative solution to this HPI market.”
“There is a growing need among our customers to obtain rapid, reliable and actionable information at various points in their online process.” says John Wasson, President at Wasson-ECE, “Combining the VGA-100 detector with our core chromatography technology allows us to deliver a robust, integrated solution that reduces run-times and analysis time for our Hydrocarbon Processing customers” Wasson-ECE EclipseTM Platform The VGA-100 detector has claimed the distinguished “Best New Analytical Instrument” award at the Gulf Coast Conference, emerging from a competitive field of the world’s newest scientific instruments. Additionally, The Analytical Scientist named the VGA-100 a Top 5 winner in their annual Innovation Awards. Most recently, the R&D magazine named the VGA-100 a 2015 R&D 100 Market Disruptor Product Winner. These awards represent validation from leading analytical chemists of the vast potential offered by this seminal and unique approach to a largely routine and established science.
