Gaseous matrices are samples that are gaseous at room temperature and were taken without transformation from containers such as bags, ampoules, or canisters.
Samples may be from gas cylinders, but they might also be medical gases, the “gaseous” section of a food packaging (the top of a water bottle, the gas in a ham package, etc.), or gases generated by a substance (foam, plastic, etc.) or a liquid.

Quad-Lab lab can analyze most gaseous matrices and offers the following services:
- supply of gas sampling containers according to your requirements;
- design and manufacture of gas extraction devices for hermetically sealed systems: aerosols, cans, food packaging, heaters, etc.
- a complete range of analyses for pure gases or mixtures, such as
- quantification of gaseous compounds: carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O₂), etc ;
- quantification of gaseous hydrocarbons: C1 to C5 alkanes, alkenes ;
- the quantification of several specific gases: sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), greenhouse gases, freons, … ;
- search for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without a predefined list: VOC screening;
- calculation of parameters such as calorific values (HCV and HCV) and density.
