Founded in 2017, ASDevices is based in Thetford Mines, Québec, Canada and has its roots in a long history of innovation for the gas chromatography and gas analysis world.
This history dates back to 1992, when Yves Gamache, the CEO, developed the K2000, the first digital trace nitrogen analyser for the air separation industry. This first revolution in terms of performance and reliability brought Yves and André Fortier, his long-term associate, to start Contrôle Analytique. This company developed between 1995 to 2007, the K2001, a nitrogen analyser that became an instant world success and is still considered a standard for the air separation industry. It also developed the K2002, an improved design of the K2001, for the semiconductor industry and the K3000, which was the first reliable crude argon analyser.
Finally, a complete process GC R&D programme led by André Lamontagne, now president of ASDevices, has given birth to the K4000. The K4000 was the first plasma emission detector-based process gas chromatograph offering a complete graphic interface and parallel real-time chromatography with built-in industrial I/Os, built-in sampling system, and remote Ethernet connectivity.
