A singleSampleProcessingUnitwitha standard split/splitless injectionport (1:1up to1:200) suitablegasand liquid
samples viaeither syringe through the septum injections, optional gas, liquidor headspaceauto-sampler, or
automated samplingvalves. The inlet includes septumpurge toprevent bleed components fromentering the
system. The sample is thendelivered toa sample splitter for analysison two independent columnmodules.

Two independentDetectorModules incorporatingeither amicro Flame IonizationDetector (FID) ormicroThermal
ConductivityDetector (TCD)with thenecessaryhardware, software andelectronic control toprovidedetector
temperature control, digital output signal andadditionally for proper FID fuel supplypressureandauto-ignition.
ThemicroFID is a fullydigital carbon/hydrogenbonddetectorusing thehydrogen flame toburn the sample
components. It uses anelectrometer to sense the current changes in the flame cell due to chromatographic
component elution. Thedata rate is100Hz.
ThemicroTCD isa fullydigital, universal detector. TheTCD consistsof a constant temperature filament that
senses change inpower required tohold the filament temperature constantwhen chromatographic
components elute. Thepowermeasurement isused todetermine theamount of the component eluting
from the column. Thedata rate is50Hz.

SIGNIFICANCEANDUSE
TheModel 301provides a simpleultra-fast analysis (10 to50 times faster than conventional labor
processGC’s) of fixedgases andhydrocarbons toC
44
. Useof twodifferent PTCMs inparallelwith
their owndetectors for exampleoneTCDandoneFIDwith theappropriate columnmaterial enables
leveraging the sensitivityand selectivitydifferences for enhanced separations. Proper choiceof
columnsenableswideboiling rangeand concentration rangeswitha singleGC.
Theanalyses areused for product specifications testing, product safety, environmental
measurements, process control, catalyst protection, educational tools, spot checksof fuels and
manymore.
