V&F AutoSampler

With the V&F AutoSampler, based on the Agilent G1888, offline gas samples in gas-tight vials are analysed automatically. The gas composition is measured with one of the V&F mass spectrometers, and the entire control is handled by V&F software.

Its capacity of 70 sample vials and 12 heating oven positions, combined with the high sensitivity of the analyzers, suits a wide range of analyses. The entire gas path, from the sampling needle through the sample gas line, uses deactivated components and is therefore chemically inert, so the analyte is neither degraded nor lost.
