ARDL has recently acquired a new CDS 5000 - Clarus 500 Gas Chromatograph System. This state-of-the-art new system provides a quick method for polymer analysis by Gas Chromatography with sensitive and absolute means of compound identification by FTIR or Mass Spectroscopy. Major advantages of the new technique include the minimal amounts of sample required and reduced sample preparation.

Variations of the pyrolysis experiments can yield a wealth of information and knowledge of almost any material, from polymers and paints, to biological and environmental samples in industries from rubber, food and agriculture to forensic science or fuel sources.
