Genie® Probes™ are precision-engineered sampling devices designed to extract representative samples from gas or liquid streams for analytical purposes. Built with minimal internal volume, they eliminate dead zones and ensure accurate, real-time analysis. Their retractable design allows safe insertion and removal under line pressure without the need for hydraulic tools, making field maintenance efficient and secure.
These probes come in various configurations—retractable, membrane, and portable—tailored for natural gas, liquid, and other sampling needs. Most models incorporate Genie Membrane Technology, which protects analysers by removing unwanted contaminants like liquids and particulates before analysis. Genie® Probes™ offer versatile, analytically correct solutions for industries demanding high-quality sample integrity.
Universal Analyzers Model 1221/1220 probe refers to a patented, self-cleaning, temperature-stabilized distillation gas sample probe for demanding online gas analysis applications. Also popularly known as Pyrolysis Gas (PyGas) Probe or Reflux Sampler, it solves common issues like analyzer plugging and liquid carryover by condensing heavy hydrocarbons and solids back into the process stream, improving measurement accuracy and reliability.
The 1221/1220 series sample probes address critical key issues affecting plant and furnace performance. Typical key issues addressed; insufficient cooling capacity causing liquid carryover to your analyzer; inefficient filtration of particulates causes solids to build up and plug; inaccurate or unstable outlet temperature control; and difficulty to service while installed.

Genie Filters, developed by A+ Corporation, represent a transformative leap in gas and liquid sampling technology. Since their inception in 1988, these filters have become synonymous with Analytically Correct™ sampling, a concept that ensures the integrity and accuracy of samples delivered to analysers across industries like natural gas, petrochemical, and refining.
Genie Filters are known for their membrane-based separation technology, which selectively removes entrained liquids from gas samples.
Genie Regulators by A+ Corporation are designed to ensure accurate pressure control and maintain sample integrity in gas analysis systems. They are part of the company's Analytically Correct™ product line, trusted in natural gas sampling and process analysers.
The GR (Genie Regulator) is a compact, piston-style pressure regulator that eliminates diaphragm rupture risk and is ideal for general gas sampling applications. For environments where condensation is a concern, the GHR (Genie Heated Regulator) offers a heated version of the GR, helping prevent moisture-related issues. It can be ordered with a retrofit heater kit or as a fully integrated heated unit.
The JTR (Joule Thomson Regulator) is a revolutionary product containing four stages of pressure regulation in one stainless steel housing, specifically designed for gas analytical systems. It’s especially useful in natural gas applications where temperature drops during pressure reduction are expected. To prevent freezing in cold or moisture-rich conditions, the JTR-H (Heated Joule Thomson Regulator) adds heating capability to the JTR, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging environments.
