For added flexibility to meet your laboratory’s changing requirements, five different PerkinElmer" TurboMatrix" Headspace (HS) sampler models are available:

TurboMatrix HS 16 – 16 vials with overlapped thermostatting of one vial.

TurboMatrix HS 40 – 40 vials with intelligent, overlapped thermostatting of up to 12 vials. TurboMatrix HS 110 – 110 vials with intelligent, overlapped thermostatting of up to 12 vials.

TurboMatrix HS 40 Trap – 40 vials with intelligent, overlapped thermostatting of up to 12 vials plus built-in trap for lower detection limits.

TurboMatrix HS 110 Trap – 110 vials with intelligent, overlapped thermostatting of up to 12 vials plus built-in trap for lower detection limits.

Hardware

Sample vials

Use PerkinElmer 22-mL sample vials (Part Number B0104236) for a maximum liquid sample volume of 15 mL. With the low-volume vial adapters (Part Number N6120110), the TurboMatrix HS 16 and TurboMatrix HS 40 models can also use 6-mL sample vials (Part Number N9302134) for a maximum sample volume of 2 mL. The 6-mL sample vials cannot be used on the TurboMatrix HS 110 models.

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 (available on TurboMatrix HS 40 and HS 110

thermostatting             models only). 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.

Sampling needle

Stainless steel, platinum/iridium (optional), Siltek T- (standard on trap models).

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 (standard) or 1650 mm.

Transfer line temperature

Temperature settable from 35 ˚C to 210 ˚C in 1 ˚C increments or can be run 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 sampler and GC injector.

Column compatibility

Compatible with all capillary-column diameters in split and splitless (direct coupled) mode. On­column sampling using 0.25, 0.32 or 0.53-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.

For headspace-trap sampling, the gas is focused on a sorbent trap before injection into the GC. This can be done for up to four cycles.

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-active compounds such as free volatile organic acids, sulfur compounds, amines and other nitrogen-containing organic compounds can be performed using the optional platinum/iridium or Siltek needle.

Pneumatic control

Choice of:

— Manual pneumatics using built-in pressure regulator (0-60 psig), non-trap models only.

— 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

intelligent, overlapped thermostatting 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

Standalone operation

Each headspace sampler is a self-contained standalone unit. All instrument functions are easily controlled from the touch screen of the built-in graphical user interface (GUI). 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 of 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, Chinese, Spanish and Russian (GUI).

Software control

A Remote Control Software (RCS) package is available to control the headspace samplers from a Microsoft® Windows environment.

Complete, integrated control from TotalChrom® software.

Gas chromatograph/ data system interfacing

Output signal lines for READY and RUN to start gas chromatograph (GC) 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 HS 40 and TurboMatrix HS 110, non-trap and trap models.

Maintenance alarms

Settable injection counter with a customizable display alerts users to perform routine maintenance.

System integrity checks

Automatic system leak checking

Static leak checks: Checks the whole system for leaks prior to analysis

Automatic vial leak checking

Dynamic leak check: Checks each vial for leaks as it is sampled (PPC systems only)

Optional accessories

Shaker

Patented, intelligent frequency shaker for quicker sample-specific equilibration during ther‑

mostatting. All vials are agitated simultaneously to allow quicker equilibration. Automatic frequency-checking program optimizes the agitation process. Available for the TurboMatrix HS 40 and TurboMatrix HS 110, non-trap and trap models.

Cryofocusing/water trap

On-column cryofocusing accessory for preconcentration of analytes and improved detection

water trap limits. Water trap included to allow large-volume sampling from aqueous samples without ice blockage. Available for the TurboMatrix HS 40 and TurboMatrix HS 110, non-trap models only.

BCD output

Output of sample number to external device. Standard on TurboMatrix HS 110, non-trap and

trap models.

Injector adapter kits

Injector adapter kits are available for most contemporary GCs. Side-mount kit available for

PerkinElmer Clarus®, AutoSystemTM and AutoSystem XL GCs.

Removable sample tray

Extra sample trays for vials to be loaded into while instrument is running. Available for the TurboMatrix HS 40 and TurboMatrix HS 110, non-trap and trap models.

Clarus 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.
