CAUTION
The concentrator feature is designed to enhance
HAPSITE sensitivity when analyzing low concentration
samples. The accumulated sample VOCs are transferred
from the concentrator adsorbent bed to the HAPSITE as
a concentrated sample. Care should be taken to avoid
overloading the HAPSITE and causing excessive
carryover of VOCs in subsequent runs.
