GC CONNECTIONS
Split-Vent Traps
In GC split injection systems as much as 99% or more of the injected sample never enters the column: It is released downstream of the inlet where it can encounter and possibly perturb precision gas control devices. The split-vent trap acts to prevent or at least moderate such effects. This month’s instalment addresses the operation and maintenance of split-vent traps.
SAMPLE PREPARATION PERSPECTIVES
The Importance of Solvent Safety Considerations
Given some recent, significant safety incidents this month, Doug Raynie offers a quick refresher on safety concerns to be aware of during your sample preparation activities.
