Touch Screen Experience!

Touch Screen User Interface is a Natural

User Interface that provides easy system

accessibility and usability. Touch screen

eliminates drilldown, simplifying instrument

control for novices and experienced users.

The capability to add a label to methods

and sequence steps, the intuitive icons,

the assisted method editing and the fast

and reactive microcontroller response

make your experience straight forward and

smooth

Be Compact. Be Light. Be Right Sample Capacity!

Compactness to save bench space, that is a critical

resource. Our autosamplers are the most compact on the

market and they combine the benefits from cylindrical

and cartesian autosamplers

As cylindrical autosamplers offers compactness, sample

away from hot injector area, easy installation

As cartesian autosamplers offers squared sample rack, high

capacity

Featherweight – vs. competitors - allows easy installation

and easy instrument repositioning across different GCs in

the lab

Multiple tray management. Set the instrument to work

with as many Tray type/Vial Size/Sampling depth you want.

Then switching from one to another is as fast as a couple

of touches on the screen: no more needs to rerun setup

procedure when changing vial size or when moving from

vial with-microinsert to vial without (liquid sampling)

Design & Usability count! Design doesn’t mean only providing an attractive and unique shape.

Design means make your experience as smooth as we can!

Syringe installation: The sliding visor, the large

syringe access area, the syringe fixing system allows

rapid syringe swap and automated installation through

a self-intuitive wizard (no tools required for liquid

samplers)

Syringe illumination to keep always sample under

control and to easy check against air bubbles in

method validation (liquid samplers); target illumination

for enhanced visual tracking (headspace samplers)

And more such as:

– Preventive maintenance counters to get

reminder about syringe substitution and GC

maintenance (e.g.: septa injection counter)

– Run-all-sample mode: just press START and

have all the samples in your tray analyzed without

the need of editing sample sequence

– Sounds level selection (On, Off, On Error)

Make Installation Easy!

Mounting kits for HT2000 and HT3000 series are

compact, easy to align and allow autosampler hot-

swap (remove autosampler and put back in place, with

practically no needs to realign). Therefore autosampler

becomes a plug-in module easy to move across different

GCs (also across different GC brands or models) as soon

as lab productivity change.

The hot–swap capability makes the usage together

with GC-with-revolving-top-cover (like Agilent 6850)

very convenient, providing fast access for column swap

or inspection.

Installation is as easy as mounting the plate on GC,

performing hardware alignment by the convenient

centering tool, selecting your GC brand and model by

Touch Screen menu

Interfaces with any major GC/GC-MS system

II. Platform Overview

50+ GC models supported. HTA

autosamplers fit every GC, oldest and

newest ones, by a dedicated interface

Major GC/GCMS producers are

supported like local ones. On each

GC/GCMS is assured highest

compatibility and highest performances

In the most configuration 1 turret serves

up to 2 injectors

The rotating tower leaves injection

port free for manual injection or

maintenance

which "Single injection" and "Automatic Run" buttons are displayed) and "quick" mode (by which

a "Start" button is displayed).

• In "quick" mode, HT2000H works as HT2100H (HT3000A works as HT3100A): all samples in the

rack are processed with no need for operators to edit the autosampler sequence.

Experiment Description Temperature of samples inside sample vials

have been monitored along a period of 5 hours.

In this period GC has been operated continuously

(sample analysis in progress), in order to

generate heating from GC oven.

In order to verify the fact that GC oven heating

was not negatively affecting temperature of

sample inside HT3000A tray, we have checked

Temperature of samples vs. Room

Temperature.

RT probe has been position in such place in order

to be far from heat air coming from GC oven.

Along testing period ∆T has been <0.85°C. Such

data prove the fact that HT3000A sample tray and

its basement keep samples away from

overheating. Furthermore this test has shown an

insulation effect generated by HT3000A

basement that delay propagation of increased RT

HT3000A analytical performance

Sample tray Temperature stability: no overheating on your sample

How important is modalities switch for all-in-ones autosamplers? (1/3)

When speaking to a prospect of an all-

in-ones autosampler, the expectations

to switch modalities between

headspace, liquid and SPME are very

high. Is that true?

Are customers really changing

modalities on a daily basis?

Is competitor advertising about

automatic switch several time per batch

the answer to a customer needs?

A survey has been performed among

HT280T /HT250D customers to check how

often they have the need to switch between

modalities (headspace, liquid, SPME)

The survey has been performed in 2013 2Q

on a worldwide basis to avoid effect of

geographical variables

All customers were running HT280T from a

period greater than 6 months (average

experience was 4 years) in order to avoid

adverse selection phenomena and in order

to get answers based on the real usage

path

How important is modalities switch for all-in-ones autosamplers? (2/3)

The switch of the modality does not

appear to be a frequent task among

large part of the users; it follows that:

1. Modalities switch should be an

easy and intuitive task. Being this

task performed rarely they want to be

assisted in order to avoid ‘syringe

damages’ or downtime

2. Primary reasons for sourcing an

all-in-ones autosampler appears to

be protection against investment

obsolescence and accessibility to a

large span of injection techniques

by a limited investments

How important is modalities switch for all-in-ones autosamplers? (3/3)

HT2800T allows users to achieve both goals

62

“Should offer protection against

investment obsolescence”

“Modalities switch should be

an easy and intuitive task”

Few easy tasks required

User is guided step-by-step through the

wizard procedure. Just read message on

touch screen: avoid the need to browse

boring user manual

SPME kits is available as add-ons: may

be sourced with the autosampler or a

later time for field upgrade

HT2800T vs. HT2850T (2/2)

The only difference between the 2 models is about the fiber

cleaning device, that is installed only on HT2850T

The Fiber Cleaning Device is used in SPME mode only. It is an heated and

purged chamber in which the fiber is exposed for a programmable amount of time.

The Fiber Cleaning Device is used in the following occasions:

SPME fiber activation: every new SPME fiber requires to pass through an activation

process that includes to expose the fiber at a given temperature for a given amount of

time.

SPME fiber cleaning after desorption

The Fiber Cleaning Device is an alternative to use the GC injector(s) for the

above tasks. However there are 2 situations in which is preferable perform the

SPME fiber cleaning after desorption in the Fiber Cleaning Device instead of the

GC injector:

The fiber at room temperature may absorb environmental pollution that affect the data of

the compounds you are going to analyze

Some analytes are not desorbed in the injector during desorption phase and you need to

remove them by exposing the fiber at higher temperature
