Restek Leak Detector and ProFLOW 6000 Flowmeter
Protect your instrument and improve data quality with this powerful pair from Restek. Checking for leaks and verifying flows before you start running help you avoid costly problems later.
Restek Leak Detector
Redesigned and better than ever, this electronic leak detector is an essential tool for troubleshooting and routine maintenance of your gas chromatograph. Taking a few minutes to ensure all critical seals in the GC system are leak free prevents costly downtime, waste, and damage. This leak detector lets you pinpoint small gas leaks quickly and accurately before they cause bigger problems.
Features
- Detect a Wide Range of Lab Gases: Easily find leaks for a broad range of common lab gases with confidence. Helps you locate even low-level leaks of helium, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.
- Easy Sampling: Optimized internal flow sweeps the sample path clean, permitting more sensitive detection.
- Audible Feedback: Determine the severity of a leak with an audible tone; no need to look away from the probe to check the LED display.
- Ready When You Are: No more waiting for a full charge—unit can be operated during charging or used up to 12 hours between charges.
- Flexible Charging Options: Charging kit includes both a USB charging cable and a universal AC power adaptor (U.S., UK, Europe, Australia, Japan) so you can charge anywhere, anytime.
- Indoor Use Only

*Caution: The Restek electronic leak detector should only be used to detect trace amounts of hydrogen in a noncombustible environment. It is NOT designed for determining leaks in a combustible environment. A combustible gas detector should be used for determining combustible gas leaks under any condition. When using it to detect hydrogen, the Restek electronic leak detector may only be used for determining trace amounts in a GC environment.
Avoid using liquid leak detectors on a GC! Liquids can be drawn into the system and/or into the leak detector.
ProFLOW 6000 Flowmeter
With its wide range of capabilities, the ProFLOW 6000 flowmeter simplifies gas flow measurement in the lab. Real-time measurements can be made for various types of flow paths, including continually changing gas types.
Features
- Volumetric Flowmeter: Measure the flow rate of any gas, including gas mixtures. Unlike mass flowmeters, this volumetric unit is not limited to a preset list of gases.
- Extended Flow Range: Offering a wide range of flow rates, the ProFLOW 6000 flowmeter accurately measures flows from 0.5 mL/min to 500 mL/min.
- Accurate Measurements: More accurate than a bubble flowmeter, the ProFLOW 6000 flowmeter is accurate to ±2% of the flow reading or ±0.2 mL/min, whichever is greater.
- NIST-Traceable Calibration: You can rely on accurate calibration over the entire range of measurable flow rates. Recalibration service is also available to support preventative maintenance programs.
- Ease of Use: Ergonomic design and side grips ensure comfortable handheld use; extendable stand makes conversion to benchtop use quick and easy.
- Patented
