Overview

A sample application can perform Multiple Extraction Headspace Analysis using 10ml or 20 ml vials. The process will use a vent tool to flush the headspace of the sample vial prior to each injection. This flushing of an inert gas can be followed by an agitation period during which the vial will be heated and shaken in an agitator. The length of the flush period as well as the agitation period will be determined by the operator. Once the agitation process is completed, a headspace sample will be collected from the vial and injected into the appropriate GC port for analysis.
