7 Connecting to a Sample
7.1 Introduction
Micro GC Fusion allows for a variety of sampling techniques including the use of
syringes, sample bags, or pressurized cylinders.
7.2 Purging the Sample Path
To obtain an accurate analysis of the sample, always purge the sample line with the
sample before connecting it to the sample inlet to remove residual gas in the sample
line.
When the Integrated Sample Conditioner is configured on an instrument, the
Micro GC Fusion main page provides a command button to purge the sample line and
the internal volume of the sample conditioner. Refer to Purge Integrated Sample
Conditioner [
250].
7.3 Front Sample Inlet
Micro GC Fusion provides flexible inlet options. Depending on the configuration and
chassis type, sample gas may be introduced through a front sample inlet or through
an Integrated Sample Conditioner to reduce sample input pressure from up to 6,895
kPa (1,000 psi) to approximately 83 kPa (12 psi).
