VUV Analytics Announces Partnership with Wasson-ECE Instrumentation
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 analyzers into 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’ VGA100 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”
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.
