2.1.2 Sample Cells and Rinse Cells
NOTE Appendix D contains part numbers for cells, bottles,
vials, and other accessories.
Sample Cells
Sample cells consist of a cell body and two interchangeable caps, which
are screwed onto each end of the cell body. The cell body and end caps
are made of the same material. Inside each end cap is a frit in the same
material as the cell, as well as a PEEK™ seal. During a run, the cell end
caps are compressed by the oven to form a tight seal between the caps and
the cell body.
Each cell end cap contains an external O-ring. Teflon® O-rings
(P/N 049457, pkg. of 50) are standard. Use Viton® O-rings (P/N 056325,
pkg. of 50) for dioxins and other high temperature applications.

cursor continuously through the allowed settings.

Always tighten the cell end caps by hand. Use of a wrench or other
tool can damage the cell, as well as the seals inside the cell end caps.
If Viton external O-rings are installed on the cell end caps, do not use
