ATAS GL - Multi Mode Inlet OPTIC 3
No Documents
The OPTIC 3 is the world most universal Multi Mode Inlet system for Gas Chromatography. (MMI)
OPTIC 3 is a highly advanced injector with sophisticated temperature and gas flow control that can be used for the most demanding GC analyses. As its predecessor, OPTIC 2, the new system can be used for hot split/splitless, cold split/splitless and on-column injections. Standard available facilities are:
- Large Volume Injections
- Thermal Desorption
- Pyrolysis (liquid and solid)
- Cryo Focus
OPTIC 3 is designed to be compatible with most popular makes and models of GC and GC-MS. Once installed, OPTIC 3 should be fully compatible with an autosampler.
OPTIC 3 system consists of the injector, the control unit and the dedicated control software - ATAS Evolution Workstation. There is also a special solvent sensor in the split line, this sensor can be used for automatic solvent venting. The software graphically displays all the system parameters in a real time mode and gives a possibility to save the run-time data for every injection.
The patented design of the injector body helps to have the best transfer of the compounds from the injector onto the analytical column. This can be seen both for volatile and heave compounds.
