Specifications

Sample Delivery Method:

Displacement

Capacity:

11 cassettes of either six 5-mL or eight 0.5-mL PolyVials

Vial Size:

Nominal volume of 0.5 or 5 mL

Filter Pore Size:

20 µm

Minimum Volume Delivered:

0.17 mL from 0.5-mL vials; 1.7 mL from 5-mL vials

External Control:

Relay closure

Injections Per Vial:

1, 2 or 3 samples may be delivered from each vial

Type of Loading:

Loop: Delivers sample rapidly to sample loop

Concentrator: Delivers sample against back pressure of up to 100 psi (690 kPa) at approximately 0.4 mL/min (0.5-mL vials) or 1 mL/min (5-mL vials)
