for PEAK PAL Performance GETTING STARTED WITH HEADSPACE ANALYSIS _______________________________________________ SYSTEM STARTUP ESSENTIALS The CTC Combi Pal is a versatile system that can be used for many sample preparation and autosampling tasks. As such it is great for automated headspace analysis. In order to take full advantage of the system, there are a few points to consider before starting automated sample extraction and loading. HEADSPACE GUIDE FOR Combi Pal 1. Headspace vials, septa and caps. The single most impo rtant contributor to bad reproducibility for headspace GC results is leaky vials. The only recommended vials from the manufacturer are the screw-top vials from La-pha- Pack. The vials (packs of 100) can be purchased from AUTOSAMPLERGUYS, part number: 1809 1306 (10 mL) or 1809 1307 (20 mL) and caps (packs of 100) are available with either butyl rubber/PTFE septa (1803 1416), low background Viton septa (1803 1424) or ultraclean silicone/PTFE (1803 1414 and 1803 1309). As a result of the high sensitivity possible with large volume headspace injection, septum bleed in the sample vials during sampling may result in significant background during the run. Sometimes it is worth baking out all septa before use. This can be done in an incubator or in the GC oven. Use moderate temperature but allow several hours for the bake-out. 2. Needle penetration. The headspace syringes have a side-hole needle. In some cases, the hole is up to 5 mm up from the very tip of the needle. Therefore it is important that the needle penetration depth in the vial
