Gas Chromatograph

The chromatography system will be used primarily for analysis of volatile organics in whole-air
canister samples via connection with an Entech 7200 preconcentrator. Helium carrier gas from
the instrument will route from the chromatography system, to the Entech preconcentrator, and
then back to the chromatography system. It will need to have a dean switch or GC valve that
allows the sample to pass into a PLOT column and then the FID detector for the first few
minutes of analysis (to analyze light hydrocarbons), and then switch to a BP1-type column and
the MS detector for the remainder of the analysis (to analyze other organics).
