TurboMatrix 40: 40 vials with intelligent overlapping thermostatting max 12 vial

Description

TurboMatrix 40 – Forty vials with intelligent overlapping thermostatting of up to twelve vials.
Sample vials
Use PerkinElmer 22 mL sample vials (P/N B0104236) for a maximum liquid sample volume of 15 mL. With the low-volume vial adapters (P/N N6120110) the TurboMatrix 16 and TurboMatrix 40 systems can also use 9 mL sample vials (P/N N9302134) for a maximum sample volume of 2 mL. The 9 mL sample vials cannot be used on the TurboMatrix 110 system.
Note: Use of non-PerkinElmer sample vials and patented cap enclosures is NOT recommended and system performance problems resulting from the use of non-PerkinElmer vials and caps will NOT be covered under the system warranty.
Sample thermostatting
Solid aluminum thermostatting oven. Thermostatting period and temperature precisely controlled for each sample. Software algorithm automatically optimizes sample thermostatting overlap.
Sample temperature
Temperature settable from 35°C to 210°C in 1°C increments or can be run at ambient.
Sample needling
Stainless Steel (Platinum/Iridium needle optional).
Temperature settable from 35°C to 210°C in 1°C increments or can be run at ambient.
Transfer line length
Choice of 1008 mm or 1650 mm.
Transfer line Temperature
settable from 35°C to 210°C in 1°C increments or can be runtemperature at ambient.
Transfer line system
Deactivated fused silica capillary transfer line or capillary column (0.32-µm i.d. or
0.25-µm i.d.) shielded inside a heated transfer tube between the headspace samplerand GC injector.
Column compatibility
Compatible with all capillary column diameters in split and splitless (direct coupled) mode. On-column sampling using 0.25-mm i.d. or 0.32-mm i.d. capillary columns and 1/8-inch o.d. packed columns.
Sampling method
Pneumatic, pressure-balanced sampling (no syringe or gas sample loop). Sample vials are pressurized with carrier gas. During the injection period, carrier gas flowing to the GC system is replaced by pressurized sample gas. Rapid transfer of analytes is ensured without re-equilibration in a gas sampling valve or syringe and subsequent loss of analytes. Injection amount is programmable by time or by volume without requiring any hardware change.
Analyte compatibility
Polar and non-polar organic compounds can be analyzed without any change of internal tubing. Low risk of sample composition change during analyte transfer. Analysis of chemically activecompounds such as free volatile organic acids, sulfur compounds, amines and other nitrogen containing organic compounds can be performed using the optional Platinum/Iridium needle.
Pneumatic control
Choice of:
— Manual pneumatics using built-in pressure regulator (0-60 psig).
— Electronically controlled Programmable Pneumatic Control (PPC) module (0-60 psig).
Modes of operation
Constant mode
Routine analysis mode with constant, equal thermostatting time for each sample. Includes Express Step Function to automatically optimize oven movement for maximized sample throughput.
MHE mode
Multiple headspace extractions from each vial. Up to nine extraction steps with intermediate vent performed automatically. For use in method development and validation or for routine analysis of special samples.
Progressive mode
Method development tool used in determining required equilibration time and in performing kinetic studies. Thermostatting time is automatically increased to determine optimal thermostatting time.
Control
Stand-alone
Each headspace sampler is a self-contained stand-alone unit. All instrument functions are easily operation controlled from the touch screen of the built-in graphical user interface. Set and actual values may be displayed at any time. Configurable user interface for simplest possible interaction.
— Simple one-touch operation
— Single method operation
— Sequence-based multimethod operation with up to eight methods
— Password protection
— Ten operating methods can be stored in the instrument
— Parameters remain stored with last used method directly available after power-up
Operating languages English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Russian.
Software control
An optional control software package is available to control the headspace samplers from a Microsoft Windows® environment. The headspace control software offers graphical representation of instruments and parameters with intuitive interaction. Sequence building follows the easy drag-and-drop principle. A runlog tracks and saves information on samples and performed analyses for GLP compliance. Context sensitive on-line help is available for all functions.
Gas chromatograph/data system interfacing
Output signal lines for READY and RUN to start gas chromatograph and data handling devices.
Input lines for START, STOP and READY to control the headspace unit externally. Six built in relays (4 with contact closures, 2 with 24-volt outputs).
Economy mode
Programmable power-saving and gas-saving feature with automatic wake-up function.
Priority vial
One or two vial positions can be assigned to priority vials. Urgent vials can be placed in these positions and will be inserted into the analysis sequence for quickest possible analysis. Available for the TurboMatrix 40 and TurboMatrix 110 headspace samplers, non-trap and trap models.
Maintenance alarms
Settable injection counter that alerts user when it is necessary to perform routine maintenance.
System integrity checks
Automatic system leak checking
Static leak check: Checks the whole system for leaks prior to analysis
Dynamic leak check: Checks each vial for leaks as it is sampled
Vial temperature calibration
User calibration supported.
Optional accessories
Shaker
Patented frequency scanning shaker for quicker sample equilibration during thermostatting. All vials are agitated simultaneously to allow quicker equilibration. Automatic frequency scanning
program optimizes the agitation process. Available for the TurboMatrix 40 and TurboMatrix 110 headspace samplers, non-trap and trap models.
Cryofocusing/water trap
On-column cryofocusing accessory for preconcentration of analytes and improved detection limits. Water trap included to allow large-volume sampling from aqueous samples without ice blockage. Available for the TurboMatrix 40 and TurboMatrix 110 headspace samplers, non-trap models only.
BCD output
Output of sample number to external device. Standard on TurboMatrix 110 headspace sampler, non-trap and trap models.
Injector adapter kits
Injector adapter kits are available for most contemporary GCs. Side-mount kit available for PerkinElmer AutoSystem/AutoSystem XL Gas Chromatograph.
Removable sample tray
Extra sample trays for vials to be loaded into while instrument is running. Available for the TurboMatrix 40 and TurboMatrix 110 headspace samplers, non-trap and trap models.
AutoSystem injector interface
Special hourglass injector insert to connect the fused silica transfer line from the headspace sampler to the capillary column provides the performance advantages of a direct connection while still maintaining the convenience of connecting to a split injector.
