Greenhouse Gas Autosampler

AS-210

AS 210 Intro

The new Greenhouse Gas Autosampler distributed by SRI Instruments Europe GmbH is an openly programmable XYZ-Autosampling System.

In combination with an SRI Instruments “Greenhouse GC” or any other brand of GC (with a sample loop), all the gases that are relevant in climate monitoring (Methane, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrous Oxide) can be analyzed with a cycling time of only 4 minutes.

With its 210-position-vial rack for 20ml Headspace vials, you can analyze up to 346 samples per day.

  • 4 methods
  • 9 sequences
  • Openly programmable step rates
  • User-specific rack size possible
  • Maximum path: X=380 mm, Y=480 mm, Z=150 mm
  • 4.3″ Touchscreen display
  • System can be purged with Nitrogen
  • Evacuation of the sample system using a rotary vacuum pump (down to 1 mbar)
  • Pressure control by sensor
  • Up to 4 calibration gases can be used
  • Calibration routine included in the software
  • Control calibration
  • It is compatible with any GC that has a sample loop

Sampling Theory:

  • System flushed with Nitrogen
  • Evacuation of the sample system
  • Needle pierces the vial – sample streams into the evacuated system
  • Pressure compensation to ambient pressure
  • A pre-sample loop prevents ambient from entering the sample loop
