Thermo Scientific Liquid sampling automation model: AI/AS 1310
**This unit has been tested to specifications. Needle Not included. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use. See photos for further details.
As the next evolution in sampling automation, the Thermo Scientific AI/AS 1310 Series autosampler is the optimum choice for gas chromatography liquid injections. Ranging from an 8 position system (AI 1310 Autoinjector) to a 155 sample capacity autosampler (AS 1310), these systems are engineered to meet the highest requirements of ruggedness and ease of use and full fill the needs of both QA/QC and high-throughput environments. Syringe thermal stability The syringe is kept away from the inlets temperature influence so that efficient sampling of low boiling compounds is preserved. Cross-contamination free Pre- and Post-injection syringe rinsing with single or combined solvents (A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D) makes carryover negligible.
System upgradability: An upgrade option is available for AI 1310 to extend its sample throughput to the 155 sample capacity of the AS 1310 autosampler.
System control: All necessary electronics are on board the sampling module. Both AI 1310 and AS 1310 can be controlled through the data system set-up menu.
System setup Easy self-aligning, slide-in installation does not require any turret/syringe adjustment over the injector or the sample vial.
RoHS compliance: The AI/AS 1310 is compliant with the latest Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements for hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Specifications
Syringe thermal stability: The syringe is kept away from the inlets temperature influence so that efficient sampling of low boiling compounds is preserved.
Cross-contamination free: Pre- and Post-injection syringe rinsing with single or combined solvents (A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D) makes carryover negligible.
Reproducibility:Chromatographic performance: < 0.3 RSD % for C12, C16, C24 (C12-C24 alkane mixing hexane). Data obtained on 10 subsequent Split less analyses, 1L injected volume using Standard needle depth option.
Removable trays
AI 1310 - The 8-position sample holder can easily be removed and replaced by another one. Each sample holder can be specifically labeled and used for sample preparation or storing.
AS 1310 - The 155-position rotating carousel can be easily removed and replaced for sample preparation or storage if required.
Pre-set injection modes
Minimum needle depth With this option, the syringe needle penetrates only partially in the inlet. Pre- and Post-injection dwell times are automatically set to zero. This selection enables Cold Needle type injections, preventing sample pre-volatilization from the needle. When operating in Minimum injection depth mode, all parameters are optimized and preset (Needle depth, pre- and posted well time, and Injection speed). Fast injection speed is optimized for this technique.
Standard needle depth
Using this option, the syringe needle penetrates entirely in the inlet. This selection offers the choice of pre- and post-injection injection dwell times, allowing to perform Hot Empty Needle type injections with the SSL inlet. This technique does not require any packing material in the liner. It should be preferred when analyzing thermal compounds. Preset parameters are needle depth and injection speed. Manually set parameters are pre and post-injection injection dwell times.
