SPME Conditioning Station
Thermo Scientific TriPlus RSH User Guide 61
The total area is determined from the MHE-plot of Figure 43 .
Consequently, the acetone content can be determined as follows:
1. Calculate the total area using the Excel spreadsheet. In this example the total area is 101.1
2. Compare the total area against the calibration plot from which the amount can be
determined as 19 μg. See Figure 43 .
SPME Conditioning Station
The SPME Conditioning Station is an optional device used for the SPME (Solid Phase Micro
Extraction) technique. See
Figure 44 .
It conditions or cleans a fiber between chromatographic runs.
A flow of inert gas protects the fiber from degradation when it is exposed to elevated
temperatures. The temperature for conditioning or cleaning can be selected.

A spare fiber can be conditioned in the front well to ensure that a spare fiber is always ready
for use. The front position is designed to condition a spare SPME Fiber. See
Figure 45 .
WARNING The SPME Conditioning Station operates at a maximum temperature of
350 °C. Operating at this temperature, the outer surface will reach approximately 70 °C.
Do not touch the outside of the SPME Conditioning Station.
