GC-Autosampler

HT200H 40-Vial Headspace Autosampler

  • Interfaces with SRI and other GCs
  • Holds 40 Standard 20mL Headspace Vials
  • Injects directly into the GC – no transfer lines
  • 6 Position Incubator with Orbital Shaking
  • Progressive Sample Transfer

The HT200H Headspace Autosampler is designed to meet the requirements of static headspace injection for GC analysis. The swivel head design simulates the movements of manual direct injection and eliminates the need for transfer lines.
HT200H 40-Vial Headspace Autosampler
The injection tower smoothly transports the vials to the six position incubator, where they are orbitally agitated at the user-programmed temperature. The heated syringe then samples the headspace and injects directly into the GC. The 2.5 or 5mL syringe is purged with inert gas after injection. The incubator oven and the heated syringe have the same programmable temperature range of 4-150oC. The rotating design leaves the injection port available for manual injections at any time. The HT200H processes samples so that headspace injections start immediately after the previous run is completed.

Up to 10 analytical methods, including all the user-selected options listed in the OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS table, may be stored in the HT200H memory.

HT280T Headspace, Liquid and SPME Autosampler

The HT280T is a single unit combining static headspace analysis, liquid sample injection and SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction)!
As the successor to the hugely popular HT250D, the HT280T effectively combines the operations of the HT200H Headspace Autosampler and the HT300A Liquid Autosampler, with the addition of SPME.

Consider that the HT280T is compatible with almost all GC and GC/MS systems, both present and past, and you have a truly remarkable development in GC autosampling.

The HT280T can save you time and money, increase analysis flexibility and save older GCs from redundancy. Changing between liquid, headspace and SPME modes is very simple. It takes about 5 minutes and there's no need to remove the sampler from the GC.
Solid Phase Microextraction
Headspace Operation
The system is uses a heated syringe to extract headspace samples from the 6 position orbital oven/shaker. This eliminates tubing, dead volume and sample absorption. Vial transport is positive and incredibly reliable – the system constantly checks that vials are present and are located in the correct place. No expensive magnetic caps are required. No transfer lines are required and the unit mounts directly on the GC thus reducing bench space requirements.

Operation is via the simple keypad or by HT-COMSoft software. Up to 40 headspace vials of 20ml or 10ml may be stored in the standard tray. Progressive sample preparation means that samples are automatically loaded into the oven at the correct time to ensure an injection is ready as soon as the previous run is complete, maximizing your GC efficiency.

Key Features:
  • No transfer lines means no sample crossover
  • Rotating head design leaves injection port free for manual injection
  • Progressive sample transfer means samples always ready when previous run completed
  • May be configured for left or right operation
  • Gas flush of syringe between injections

Liquid Sampler Operation

Up to 110 samples may be processed as single or batch injections using one or more analysis methods. Any 12x32mm vial may be used with any cap type. All parameters from the sampling depth through to the injection speed, depth and dwell times may be programmed through the front panel or via the HT-COMSoft software

The automatic injection sequence may have up to 15 steps which can be programmed to include:
  • First and last samples of group
  • Injection method
  • Number of injections for each sample
  • Pre- and Post-washing solvent position
  • Internal Standard (if used)

Key Features:
  • No transfer lines means no sample crossover
  • Syringe may be washed with solvent or sample
  • Injections may be made on two columns (high throughput and confirmation mode)
  • Rotating head design leaves injection port free for manual injection
  • Internal standard sampling
  • Memory stores 10 different methods
  • Variable fill speed allows for wide range of sample viscosities
  • Sampling system eliminates air bubbles
  • Programmable sampling and injection speed

The HT280T can extract volatile and non-volatile compounds in both liquid and headspace samples using variable vial penetration depth. Samples can be derivatised pre or post-extraction as the application requires. The extraction is performed by exposing the fibre into the sample vial. Samples can be agitated by orbital rotation and heated during extraction.

Both the shaking speed and oven temperature are programmable. The oven door is kept closed during extraction to maintain constant temperature. After the compounds have been thermally desorbed in the GC injector, the fibre may be fully cleaned again in the optional heated fibre cleaning station positioned at the back of the unit. Key Features:
  • Single step extraction (reduces sample preparation time by up to 70%)
  • Minimal use of solvents
  • Programmable extraction depth to perform both headspace and liquid extraction
  • Oven door kept closed during extraction to keep temperature constant
