One Platform – Thousands of Possible Instrument Configurations
The Truculence Instrument Platform will feature various sensing technologies and analytical methods. It has been developed with several guiding design principles including:
- Truculence is extensively Configurable, greatly Scalable and highly Modular.
- Truculence has extraordinary capability, adaptability and usability, all of which are made possible by distributed processing and an innovative new flexible and simple programming concept called Tabletalk.
- Truculence instruments can be as simple as stand alone smart sensors (SASS), as sophisticated as compound applicated, hybridized multi-detector Gas Chromatographs or they may be configured for most any level of service in between.
