HAPSITE Smart Operating Manual
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.
