GC-MS Sample Introduction Options

AOC-20 Auto Injector/Auto Sampler

There is automation to fit any budget. The AOC-20i autoinjector can be used for a few samples or many when combined with the AOC-20s autosampler carousel.

AOC-6000 Series Multifunctional Auto sampler

AOC-6000 Multifunctional Autosampler

With automated pretreatment and the ability to switch between three GC/MS sample injection modes – liquid, headspace, and solid phase micro extraction – the AOC-6000 dramatically improves GCMS and GC analysis productivity.

HS-20 Series Headspace Samplers

With both loop and loop/trap models, the HS-20 dedicated headspace sampler is an optimal solution for analyzing a wide range of volatile organic components (VOCs) in a variety of sample matrices. Perfect for use with either GC or GC-MS.

TD-30 Series Thermal Desorption Sampler

The TD-30 is the optimal solution for gas and materials analysis. Its outstanding processing ability and excellent expandability provide strong support for all types of analysis, for example measuring air quality in buildings, VOCs of interior car materials, or even odors in packaging.

PY-3030 Series Pyrolysis Sampler

Not all GC and GCMS samples can be liquid or gas, sometimes solids like plastics need to be analyzed. Using the PY3030 operators can characterize virtually any organic material, from biomass to synthetic polymers using single- or dual-stage pyrolysis. The system comes equipped to run multiple techniques including Evolved Gas (EGA), Single-shot Analysis (PY) and many more.
