DANI MASTER TOF PLUS - Time of Flight GC/MS
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The use of automated instrumentation and Fast GC methods are
the right approach for modern laboratories to enhance their
productivity, reducing the run time and increasing the accuracy
and precision of their analyses.
The Master TOF Time of Flight GC/MS system fulfils all the
stringent requirements that Fast GC imposes to the analytical
instrumentation, including the fast heating and cooling rate of the
MASTER GC oven, the high pressure limit of the gas control and,
finally, the fast acquisition rate of the MS detector.
Particularly, the narrowest chromatographic peaks produced by
high speed analyses, having a 0.5 seconds or lower peak width,
require a high speed acquisition rate to collect a sufficient number
of information (15-20 points/peak) for a correct peak identification
of a fully resolved peak.
The MASTER TOF-MS provides an acquisition rate up to 30,000
spectra/s offering the fastest MS detection available on the market.
In addition, the TOF-MS principle allows the fast detection
capability over the full mass range: in fact, all the ions generated
in the ion source are continuously pulsed into the analyzer and no
filtering of selected masses is applied. This overcomes the need for
SIM mode operation used in conventional quadrupoles or ion-traps
and limits the spectral skewing of unresolved peaks produced by
scanning instruments.
The MASTER TOF-MS constantly acquires 30,000 mass spectra over the entire mass range, compared to the fastest
quadrupole MS which only provides about 10 mass spectra at 10,000 amu/s in the same mass range (1 – 1,000 amu).
All spectra acquired are stored in a compressed format to provide a continuous full mass range acquisition rate selectable
up to 1000 Hz written to disk.
In addition, the system offers an outstanding dynamic range with a linearity of 5 orders of magnitude, remarkably reducing
sample preparation steps, e.g. dilutions and concentrations, as well as the number of analyses.
The MASTER TOF-MS, matching the speed required for the acquisition of the narrowest GC peaks, is also the ideal solution
for GCxGC applications.

ENHANCED SENSITIVITY
The MASTER TOF-MS features an unsurpassed sensitivity. Unlike scanning quadrupole MS, which generates inconstant
ion-abundance ratios, the MASTER TOF-MS provides enhanced sensitivity due to the high frequency of ions expulsions
(30,000 Hz), the fast acquisition system (1.2 GSPS), and the negligible ion loss during the separation process in the flight
tube. In addition, high sensitivity is maintained across the entire mass range.
Outstanding sensitivity is achieved through the use of differential pumping, enabling improved vacuum conditions.
Therefore, an elongated ion mean free path is achieved, avoiding collision on their transit through the TOF analyzer.

WALKAWAY AUTOMATION
In combination with the MASTER AS, a robotic X-Y-Z coordinate sampling system, the MASTER TOF GC/MS system delivers
complete automation of all operation steps, including standard addition. Hence, the complete system increases sample
throughput allowing to process without attending up to 160 samples with enhanced precision and accuracy, improving
analysis performance.
The MASTER Lab software delivers complete system control through a user-friendly interface without requiring particularly
experienced operators.

OPT 100M - FID 86/C Detection System

Flame Ionization Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI FID uses a flame produced by the combustion of hydrogen and air. Few ions are formed until
an organic compound elutes into the flame. Then a large increase in ions occurs. A collector with a
polarizing voltage is applied near the flame, attracting the ions and producing a current, which is
proportional to the amount of sample present in the flame.

The DANI FID has three pneumatic supply lines for air, hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is electronic
controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas and hydrogen lines merge before entering the
detector.

DANI comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application

requirements.
The DANI FID is designed for FAST GC requirements, the data acquisition rate is up to 400 Hz for a
better reproducibility and accuracy of chromatographic signals.

OPT 112M - NPD 86/C Detection System - BLOS

Nitrogen Phosphorous Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI NPD uses a jet and collector similar in appearance to a Flame Ionization Detector. In an NPD
(also called thermionic detector), however, ions of alkali metal are introduced into a flame where
hydrogen and air flows are less than those for an FID, minimizing the normal hydrocarbon ionizations,
and increasing the ionization of nitrogen or phosphorous compounds. This causes the NPD to be both
sensitive and selective for organic compounds containing nitrogen and/or phosphorous. This thermionic
source efficiently ionizes nitrogen and phosphorous containing organic molecules. Ions are collected and
the resulting current measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI NPD has three pneumatic supply lines for air, hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is
electronic controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas and hydrogen lines merge before
entering the detector.

DANI comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application

DETECTION SYSTEMS

OPT 133M - ECD 86/C Detection System

Electron Capture Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI ECD is based on the phenomenon that electronegative species can react with thermal
electrons present to form negatively charged ions. The loss of such electrons is related to the quantity of
analyte in the sample. In order to produce capturable (low energy) thermal electrons, the carrier gas is
ionized by beta particles from a radioactive source in the cell. This electron flow produces a current,
which is collected and measured. When the sample molecule is introduced into the cell, electrons which
would otherwise be
captured at the electrode are captured by the sample, resulting in decreased current. This change is
what is recorded and measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI ECD has one line for the anode purge/makeup gas. Each line is electronic controlled by a
pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas line sweeps past the end of the column and carries the
column effluent into the ECD cell. The anode purge flow sweeps the upper part of the ECD and cleans
sample deposition from the detector.

DANI comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application

requirements.
The DANI ECD is designed for FAST GC requirements, the data acquisition rate is up to 400 Hz for a

OPT 144M - FPD 86/C Detection System

Flame Photometric Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

In the DANI FPD the sample burns in a hydrogen rich flame, where some species are reduced and
excited. The gas flow moves the excited species to a cooler emission zone above the flame where they
decay and emit light. A narrow bandpass filter selects light unique to one species, while a shield prevents
intense carbon emission from reaching the photomultiplier tube (PMT).
The light strikes a photosensitive surface in the PMT where a light photon knocks loose an electron. The
electron is amplified inside the PMT for an overall gain of up to a million. The current from the PMT is
amplified and digitized by the FPD electronics board.

The DANI FPD has four pneumatic supply lines for air (2), hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is
electronic controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC).

DANI comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application

requirements.
The DANI FPD is designed for FAST GC requirements, the data acquisition rate is up to 400 Hz for a

OPT 155M - PID 86/C Detection System

Photoionisation Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital pressure
regulators and electrometer.

The DANI PID operates on the principle of absorption of energy (photons) emitted by an UV lamp by
sample molecules. This process occurs when the molecules have ionization potential less than or roughly
equal to the energy of the UV lamp used. The use of different lamps makes it possible to achieve
different detection selectivity. As a general rule, the lamp emitting the lowest energy photons provides
the highest selectivity.

The DANI PID has one pneumatic supply lines for makeup gas. Each line is electronic controlled by a
pressure regulator (DPC).

DANI comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application

requirements.
The DANI PID is designed for FAST GC requirements, the data acquisition rate is up to 400 Hz for a
better reproducibility and accuracy of chromatographic signals.

OPT 166M - TCD 86/PK Detection System

Thermal Conductivity Detector for widebore and packed columns with digital pressure regulators,
electrometer and auxiliary gas lines.

The DANI TCD responds to any compounds whose thermal conductivity is different from the thermal
conductivity of the carrier gas alone. The TCD cell is a dual channel device, with an empty flow path and
a path containing a detector filament. When the column effluent flows through the empty channel, a
pure stream of reference gas maintains an equilibrium through the filament path. The reference gas is
used to compare thermal conductivity changes caused by the column effluent.
A gas with high thermal conductivity, such as helium, is used as the carrier/make-up/reference gas.
When the analyte is present in the gas stream, the thermal conductivity drops, and less heat is lost to
the cavity wall. Under constant applied voltage, a filament in the TCD cell will heat up and its resistance
will increase. This change is what is recorded and measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI TCD has two pneumatic supply lines for measure and reference gas. Each line is electronic
controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC).

After the acquisition, the mass spectral data are processed, enabling the access to peak identification, integration, and
calibration. Calibration curves and quantitative analysis of known and unknown components are calculated automatically.
In GC analyses co-elutions are prone to occur when complex samples are analyzed or when the analysis run times are
reduced. The MASTER Lab algorithms use automatic spectral deconvolution procedures to detect overlapped peaks.
The unresolved mass spectra are deconvoluted, pure mass spectra are generated and then submitted as unknowns to mass
spectral library search.
The software supports several mass spectral libraries, such as the NIST® mass spectral library and Adams MS Library
(Allured Publishing Corp.) among others. Improved effectiveness and confidence in the identification and screening of target
and non target compounds is achieved.

DANI MASTER TD – Thermal Desorber
DANI MASTER TD guarantees excellent analysis performances by
using a two-stage thermal desorption process: the volatile and
semi-volatile compounds (up to C44) are desorbed from the
sample by heating in a flow of inert gas and refocused in a
narrow-bore packed trap kept a low temperature and filled with
one or more sorbent materials. The trap is heated
instantaneously and the components are introduced in a narrow
band directly into the analytical column through a heated transfer
line.

The refocusing step offers significant advantages if compared

with a direct desorption into the column: the rapid transfer of the
analytes keeps the peak width and the chromatographic
resolution uncompromised; furthermore the trap desorption in
back-flush mode improves efficiency in the transfer and allows
the use of multi-layer traps.

Compared to cryofocusing devices, the use of a packed trap

eliminates the need of cryogenic liquid, reduces the risk of ice
formation and guarantees more reliable quantitative results.

MASTER TD operates automatically from thermal extraction to injection into the analytical column. The synchronization
with the gas chromatograph, the 50 places carousel, the high reliability and the easy use maximise laboratory productivity.

MASTER TD can be connected to any kind of GC or GC/MS either with packed or capillary columns by simply inserting the
transfer line into the injector.

The inert Siltek® sample pathway provides outstanding analytical results by eliminating adsorption, reactivity and also
reduces carryover.

MASTER TD is invaluable for monitoring pollutants in ambient air or in working places. It is also largely employed for
determining volatile and semi-volatile substances released from polymers, packaging, pharmaceuticals, food, paints and
varnishes.

MASTER TD is in accordance with main international standards like US-EPA TO-17, US-EPA TO-14 and TO-15, MDHS, ISO
16017-1, -2, CEN, ASTM.

DANI HSS 86.50 – Static Headspace Sampler - 44 vials
DANI HSS 86.50 static headspace sampler is the result of 30 years
of experience in the production of automatic samplers offering
most accuracy, reliability, outstanding repeatability and increase in
the productivity of analysis activities.
It allows volatile compounds to be extracted from a non-volatile
matrix and to be quickly introduced into a gas chromatograph with
reduced sample preparation.
Whatever the sample type, the process no longer requires difficult
extraction, purification and preconcentration which often cause
errors.

Repeatability is assured by accurate temperature and pressure

control, by constant incubation time and by use of the Valve&Loop
technique. This allows a known, repeatable amount of the gas
phase to be introduced, regardless to system pressure and without
using a syringe, thus avoiding the risk of condensation.

DANI HSS 86.50 is easy to use and can be coupled to DANI GC or

any other gas chromatograph or GC/MS.

DANI HSS 86.50 is able to analyse up to 44 samples in 20 or 10 ml

vials and to optimise analysis times for high productivity: one
sample is heated while the previous sample is analysed. This process eliminating waiting times between each run.

The keyboard and the display allow easy and immediate management of operating parameters.

The following features make HSS 86.50 more flexible and extend its range of applications:

Constant Heating Time: used for consistent sampling, this features allow to analyse samples under the exact same time
and temperature conditions;
MHE technique (Multiple Headspace Extraction): used for quantitative analysis of complex matrices, particularly solid
samples.
Automatic increase of incubation time and temperature: both parameters, essential for determining the sensitivity of a
method, are gradually increased by a constant value. Optimum conditions can be readily identified from
chromatographic responses;
Sample shaking: a mechanical system without the use of magnets, allows shaking at two selectable power settings. The
shaking of the sample during heating reduces incubation times and improves
sensitivity and repeatability;
Variable loops: from 0.5 to 3 ml, offer maximum application flexibility and compatibility with any
capillary or packed column.

The chemical inertness of the sample pathway, the low dead volumes and the constant washing flow to negligible levels

DANI MASTER SHS – Static Headspace Sampler - 120 vials

DANI MASTER SHS Static Headspace Sampler is the result of 30

years of experience in the production of automatic samplers
offering most accuracy, reliability, outstanding repeatability and
increase in the productivity of analysis activities.
It allows volatile compounds to be extracted from a non-volatile
matrix and to be quickly introduced into a gas chromatograph
with reduced sample preparation.

Repeatability is assured by accurate temperature and pressure

control, by constant incubation time and by use of the
Valve&Loop technique. This allows a known, repeatable
amount of the gas phase to be introduced, regardless to system
pressure and without using a syringe, thus avoiding the risk of
condensation.

DANI MASTER SHS is easy to use and can be coupled to DANI

GC or any other gas chromatograph or GC/MS.

DANI MASTER SHS is able to analyse up to 120 samples in 22, 20 and 10 ml vials and to optimise analysis times for high
productivity: one sample is heated while the previous sample is analysed. This process eliminating waiting times between
each run.

The MASTER SHS can be fully controlled directly by the touch screen display or the driver of the CLARITY SW or by using
the standalone software, SHS Manager.
All system control modes offer a straightforward method and sequence set up enabling automated analyses. Methods and
sequences can be easily edited, stored, and uploaded to the instrument.

The following features make DANI MASTER SHS more flexible and extend its range of applications:

Constant Heating Time and Overlapping Sample Processing: used for consistent sampling, this features allow to
analyse samples under the exact same time and temperature conditions eliminating waiting times between each run;
Sample shaking: speeds up equilibration phase time and increases efficiency improving, as a consequence, sensitivity
and repeatability;
Variable loops: from 0.5 to 5 ml, offer maximum application flexibility and compatibility with any capillary or packed
column;
Chemical Inertness: the sample flow path is entirely chemical inert and can be thermostatted to high temperatures
(300°C). These features eliminate analytical carryover and maintain sample integrity;

MHE (Multiple Headspace Extraction): used for quantitative analysis of complex matrices, particularly solid samples;
MHI (Multiple Headspace Injection): allows a multiple valve&loop injection in a proper programmable temperature
injector filled with dedicated sorbent material in order to improve the analytical system sensitivity;
MDO (Method Development Optimization): any single method can be associated with an optimization procedure, in
which the value of a selected parameter is automatically incremented of a constant amount in a series of consecutive
samplings of identical samples;

Unlimited priority sample positions to promptly address specific necessities in real time;
Hydrogen as Carrier Gas: compatibility with Hydrogen carrier gas lowers operating costs and decreases your analysis
time;
Automatic Leak Check procedure ensures the proper pressurization and the perfect seal of each vial;
Bar Code Reader (Option) guarantees sample ratification and validation. Samples are uniquely identifiable, minimizing
the possibility of dangerous errors;
Vial Tray cooler (Option): assures constant and low temperature for your thermolabile samples before the HS extraction

DANI MASTER DHS/P&T – Dynamic Headspace and Purge&Trap Sampler
The DANI MASTER DHS/P&T/P&T provides you with the
most versatile, state-of-the-art system for headspace
analysis.

It combines the high sensitivity of the Dynamic Headspace

technique with the productivity, ease of use , and flexibility
of a completely automated solution.

As in static headspace analysis, liquid or solid samples are

placed in sealed vials and thermostatted in a temperature-
controlled oven. Shaking of the vials is also available to
speed up the extraction step and increase its efficiency.

The use of a precise flow of inert gas through an original

dual-needle enables the volatiles to be swept from the
sample headspace and focused in a sorbent packed trap.

Analytes are then rapidly thermally desorbed and introduced

into the gas chromatographic column.
The highest recovery of the volatiles and the optimal
injection result therefore in an unmatched sensitivity.

In addition, the MASTER DHS/P&T can process liquid

samples in purging mode thus further lowering the detection
limits and featuring the capabilities of a Purge and Trap system.

The accurate and precise control of the entire sampling process ensures superior analysis performance thus fulfilling the
requirements of both routine analyses and research applications over a wide range of sample types such as water and
soils, food and beverages, polymers, and pharmaceuticals.

Unmatched Sensitivity
The MASTER DHS/P&T offers up to a 100-fold increase in sensitivity over conventional headspace techniques and
assures detection limits beyond the capability of SPME.
Sensitivity can be further increased by using selective and specific detection systems, such as Electron Capture Detector
(ECD), Photoionisation Detector (PID), and Mass Spectrometers (MS).

No Cross-contamination
The DHS/P&T sampling technique is based on the injection of gas vapors only, therefore ensuring a totally clean procedure,
a long analytical column life-time, and highly reliable analytical results. Every sample is placed in a disposable 20-mL
headspace vial thus eliminating any risk of carry-over effect.
Foaming samples can be processed in the Dynamic Headspace mode to prevent the system from contamination. No addi-
tional workload of cleaning glassware or time-consuming line purging are requested.
Nevertheless, the entire sample flow path, including the dual-needle, undergoes an automated cleaning cycle during the
baking phase.
In addition, the inert material of the entire sample flow path prevents carry-over effects, corrosion, and sample loss caused
by adsorption and reactivity.

Page 38 MASTER DHS

DANI MASTER DHS/P&T – Dynamic Headspace and Purge&Trap Sampler
Highest Productivity, Reliability, and Ease of Use
Unlike conventional Purge and Trap systems, the MASTER DHS/P&T/P&T maximizes productivity through the overlapped
sample thermostatting capability, the shorter baking phase, and the use of disposable vials.
In combination with the MASTER AS automatic sampler, the MASTER DHS/P&T allows sample overlapping with constant
incubation time increasing laboratory productivity and sample throughput: the system automatically controls that the
next sample is thermostatted during the GC analysis of the previous one.

Moreover, the system delivers the complete automation of the standard addition to enhance analytical precision: the
addition of up to 6 standard solutions directly into the vial can be programmed by the user.
Operating parameters are set and controlled through a touch screen display for a quick and easy set up. A remote
communication between MASTER DHS/P&T and MASTER GC enables high synchronization for safe and fast working
cycles increasing laboratory productivity and profitability.
The minimal sample handling and the complete automation of all process steps ensure highly reliable and reproducible
results even with unexperienced operators.

Increased Analytical Performance

When introduced into the GC in large amount, water may seriously affect separation and detection, compromising the
overall quality of the analytical results.
MASTER DHS/P&T incorporates an innovative, ingenious Dew Stop device which efficiently removes water regardless of
the analytes, maintaining volatile compounds recovery unaffected. For extra convenience, the MASTER DHS/P&T built-in
water elimination device is programmable.
Unlike other techniques, there is no need for solvents, avoiding the possible masking of peaks of interest by the solvent
peak and the introduction of impurities into the GC system. In addition, the technique prevents hazardous effects on the
environment, protects the operators' health, and eliminates considerable solvent disposal and costs.
A sophisticated control of all parameters and the highly precise electronic regulation of the purging gas flow-rate feature
an unmatched repeatability and accuracy of the analytical results.

Complete MASTER DHS/P&T Control

The MASTER DHS/P&T can be fully controlled by installing the driver of the CLARITY Chromatography Station or by
using the standalone software, DHS Manager.

Both system control modes offer a straightforward method and sequence set up enabling automated analysis. Methods
and sequences can be easily edited, stored, and uploaded to the instrument.

OPT 100 - FID 86/C Detection System

Flame Ionization Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI FID uses a flame produced by the combustion of hydrogen and air. Few ions are formed until
an organic compound elutes into the flame. Then a large increase in ions occurs. A collector with a
polarizing voltage is applied near the flame, attracting the ions and producing a current, which is
proportional to the amount of sample present in the flame.

The DANI FID has three pneumatic supply lines for air, hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is electronic
controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas and hydrogen lines merge before entering the
detector.

OPT 112 - NPD 86/C Detection System - BLOS

Nitrogen Phosphorous Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI NPD uses a jet and collector similar in appearance to a Flame Ionization Detector. In an NPD
(also called thermionic detector), however, ions of alkali metal are introduced into a flame where
hydrogen and air flows are less than those for an FID, minimizing the normal hydrocarbon ionizations,
and increasing the ionization of nitrogen or phosphorous compounds. This causes the NPD to be both
sensitive and selective for organic compounds containing nitrogen and/or phosphorous. This thermionic
source efficiently ionizes nitrogen and phosphorous containing organic molecules. Ions are collected and
the resulting current measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI NPD has three pneumatic supply lines for air, hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is
electronic controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas and hydrogen lines merge before
entering the detector.

OPT 133 - ECD 86/C Detection System

Electron Capture Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

The DANI ECD is based on the phenomenon that electronegative species can react with thermal
electrons present to form negatively charged ions. The loss of such electrons is related to the quantity of
analyte in the sample. In order to produce capturable (low energy) thermal electrons, the carrier gas is
ionized by beta particles from a radioactive source in the cell. This electron flow produces a current,
which is collected and measured. When the sample molecule is introduced into the cell, electrons which
would otherwise be
captured at the electrode are captured by the sample, resulting in decreased current. This change is
what is recorded and measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI ECD has one line for the anode purge/makeup gas. Each line is electronic controlled by a
pressure regulator (DPC). The makeup gas line sweeps past the end of the column and carries the
column effluent into the ECD cell. The anode purge flow sweeps the upper part of the ECD and cleans
sample deposition from the detector.

OPT 144 - FPD 86/C Detection System

Flame Photometric Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital
pressure regulators and electrometer.

In the DANI FPD the sample burns in a hydrogen rich flame, where some species are reduced and
excited. The gas flow moves the excited species to a cooler emission zone above the flame where they
decay and emit light. A narrow bandpass filter selects light unique to one species, while a shield prevents
intense carbon emission from reaching the photomultiplier tube (PMT).
The light strikes a photosensitive surface in the PMT where a light photon knocks loose an electron. The
electron is amplified inside the PMT for an overall gain of up to a million. The current from the PMT is
amplified and digitized by the FPD electronics board.

The DANI FPD has four pneumatic supply lines for air (2), hydrogen and makeup gas. Each line is
electronic controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC).

Photoionisation Detector for microcapillary, capillary, widebore and packed columns with digital pressure
regulators and electrometer.

The DANI PID operates on the principle of absorption of energy (photons) emitted by an UV lamp by
sample molecules. This process occurs when the molecules have ionization potential less than or roughly
equal to the energy of the UV lamp used. The use of different lamps makes it possible to achieve
different detection selectivity. As a general rule, the lamp emitting the lowest energy photons provides
the highest selectivity.

The DANI PID has one pneumatic supply lines for makeup gas. Each line is electronic controlled by a
pressure regulator (DPC).

OPT 166 - TCD 86/PK Detection System

Thermal Conductivity Detector for widebore and packed columns with digital pressure regulators,
electrometer and auxiliary gas lines.

The DANI TCD responds to any compounds whose thermal conductivity is different from the thermal
conductivity of the carrier gas alone. The TCD cell is a dual channel device, with an empty flow path and
a path containing a detector filament. When the column effluent flows through the empty channel, a
pure stream of reference gas maintains an equilibrium through the filament path. The reference gas is
used to compare thermal conductivity changes caused by the column effluent.
A gas with high thermal conductivity, such as helium, is used as the carrier/make-up/reference gas.
When the analyte is present in the gas stream, the thermal conductivity drops, and less heat is lost to
the cavity wall. Under constant applied voltage, a filament in the TCD cell will heat up and its resistance
will increase. This change is what is recorded and measured for the chromatogram.

The DANI TCD has two pneumatic supply lines for measure and reference gas. Each line is electronic
controlled by a pressure regulator (DPC).

HT3000A – Liquid Autosampler - 121 vials
HT3000A has been engineered for maximum performance and reliability. The
new system takes advantage of today’s latest technology to deliver even greater
reliability, performance and flexibility.

HT3000A is the most compact autosampler on the market (near-to-zero

requirement for bench space) while offering top-class sample capacity.
The sample rack can be removed for sample loading or preparation, or to be
stored elsewhere.

HT3000A is available in the standard version with 121 positions for 2ml vials.

It can be easily installed on all the GC and GC/MS systems available on the
market through its flexibility and modular configuration. It can be configured
serving up to two injectors in the most of the supported GC.

The self-aligning “plug and play” HT3000A mounts in seconds without tools.
It can be easy moved between GC when workloads change (easy positioning &
easy removal/repositioning).

Easy to use: Just load your samples and run the analysis with no extra
downtime. New run-all–samples mode makes the operation of sample processing
even more simple and transparent.

HT3000A is the fastest liquid autosampler available on the market: injection is performed in less than 100ms. Fast-injection
technology ensures the best possible peak shape, while maximizing the accuracy of your results.

The greatest solvent capacity means longer unattended operations. The autosampler supports the use of 6 solvent vials of
10ml each (total capacity: 60ml).

Furthermore you can take advantage from the double wash step capability: as pre-and post-wash solvent in addition to A,
B… F solvents you can also choose for a combination of A+B, A+C…. F+E solvents for superior analytical performance
(carry-over adverse!).

HT3000A handles the most sophisticated sampling techniques. Parameters are easily programmable to optimize both the
most convenient sampling method for extremely volatile or viscous samples and the best injection technique.
Variable needle depths allow you to sample anywhere within the vial, thus performing an extraction directly from the vial.

From small-volume injection, to large-volume injection, to multi-phase sampling, HT3000A can help you process samples
more quickly and get better data too. It can mount different types of syringes with volume from 0.5 to 100ul.
HT3000A offers syringe illumination to keep always the sample under control, for easy check against air bubbles in method
validation.

The rotating tower leaves the injector port free for manual injection or maintenance. Besides avoiding any complicated
sample vial transfer procedure, this approach keeps the samples away from any heated source. In fact sample rack is
mounted away from GC oven to prevent exposure to high temperatures that could cause degradation or condensation in
the sample vial.

The sampler can be controlled directly from CLARITY software. The the built-in control of DANI DDS ClarityTM acquisition
software makes the injection parameters an integral part of the analytical method and the use of a sampling sequence
ensures a safe correlation between the sample and the analytical results.

HT3100A – Liquid Auto Injector - 15 vials
It can be easily installed on all the GC and GC/MS systems available on the market through
its flexibility and modular configuration. It can be configured serving up to two injectors in
the most of the supported GC.

The self-aligning “plug and play” HT3100A mounts in seconds without tools.
It can be easily moved between GCs, also of different brands, when workload changes.

Easy-to-use controls for zero operator training. A simple, easy to use keypad lets you start
your analysis just pushing START button. All the samples in your rack will be automatically
processed.

Quick set of autosampler parameters can be done by the free PC control (HTA Autosampler
Manager) provided along with HT3100A, while all the routine operations can be managed
by its dedicated keypad (analysis start, sample loading and extra wash).

You don’t need two turrets to automate the two injectors of your GC. HT3100A can use
both the front and rear injector. The injector selection is made directly by the sequence list,
avoiding difficult set up operations or re-installation to pass from one injector to another
one.

Furthermore rotating head design assures that the injection port is always free, for inlet easy maintenance. The system is
fully self-contained and can be interfaced to almost any gas chromatograph, regardless of the GC brand or model you have
in your laboratory.

HT3100A is the fastest liquid autosampler available on the market: injection is performed in less than 100ms. Fast-injection
technology ensures the best possible peak shape, while maximizing the accuracy of your results.

HT3100A features the greatest solvent capacity and the widest solvent selection: it supports the use of 6 solvent vials of

HT3100A handles the most sophisticated sampling techniques: internal stan-dard technique (also known as sandwich injec-
tion), multi-phase, ambient headspace, priority injection, nanoliter injection and much more.
Parameters are easily programmable to optimize both the most convenient sampling method for extremely volatile or viscous
samples and the best injection technique. Variable needle depths allow you to sample anywhere within the vial, thus perfor-
ming an extraction directly from the vial.

HT280T – Multimode Autosampler
The HT280T is a single unit combining static Headspace analysis, Liquid sample
injection and SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction)
The HT280T is a compact Headspace autosampler which mounts directly on top
of most Gas Chromatography systems rather than taking up valuable bench space
next to the GC.
A simple change of the syringe mechanism allows the unit to perform automated
SPME.
It then takes just a few minutes to transform the instrument into a precision
autosampler for Liquid samples.
This means that there is no longer any need for multiple autosamplers – the
HT280T simply maximises the efficiency of a single GC system.

Headspace Mode
The HT280T utilises a heated syringe to transfer the samples from the 6 position
orbital oven/shaker directly into the injector. This eliminates tubing, dead volume
and sample absorption. Vial transport is positive and incredibly reliable – the
system constantly checks that vials are present and are located in the correct
place. No expensive magnetic caps are required.
No transfer lines are needed and the unit mounts directly on top of the GC, thus
reducing bench space requirements. Operation is via the simple keypad or by
DDS CLARITY software.
Up to 40 headspace vials of 10ml or 20ml may be stored in the standard tray.
Progressive sample preparation means that samples are automatically loaded into
the oven at the correct time to ensure an injection is ready as soon as the
previous run is complete – this maximises GC efficiency. The temperature of the
injection syringe is programmable along with the post injection Nitrogen flush to eliminate sample carry-over.

Liquid Mode
Up to 110 samples may be processed using one or more injection methods. Any 12x32mm vial may be used with any cap
type. All parameters from the sampling depth through to the injection speed, depth and dwell times may be programmed
through the front panel or via HT-COMSoft Windows™ software.
The automatic injection sequence may have up to 15 steps which can be programmed to include:
• First and last samples of group
• Injection method
• Number of injections for each sample
• Pre and Post-washing solvent position
• Internal Standard

SPME Mode
SPME is a unique sample preparation technique which eliminates most of the drawbacks associated with extracting
organics. SPME requires no solvents or complicated apparatus.
SPME has gained widespread acceptance as the technique of preference for many applications including: flavours,
fragrances and contaminants in food; forensic and toxicology applications; environmental and biological matrices; organic
volatiles in pharmaceutical compounds.
Automated SPME with the HT280T delivers more accurate results with greater throughput than manual SPME. The HT280T
can extract volatile and non-volatile compounds in both liquid and headspace
samples using variable vial penetration depth. Samples can be derivatised pre or post-extraction as the application
requires.
The extraction is performed by exposing the fibre into the sample vial. Samples can be agitated by orbital rotation and
heated during extraction. Both the shaking speed and oven temperature are programmable. The oven door is kept closed
during extraction to maintain constant temperature.
After the compounds have been thermally desorbed in the GC injector, the fibre may be fully cleaned again in the optional
heated fibre cleaning station positioned at the back of the unit.
