Getting Familiar with Your TriPlus RSH
TriPlus RSH Tools
Thermo Scientific TriPlus RSH User Guide 19
Specific tools are:
• LS Tool — Used for liquid injection with a metallic plunger typically used for GC
technique or with a polymer plunger used for syringes with a larger volume than 10 μL or
for gaseous samples. The syringe is in the tool holder, and the entire assembly is called LS
Tool. See the section
“LS Tool” on page 21 .
• HS Tool — Used for headspace injection. The entire assembly consists of a gas-tight
syringe with a side hole for purging, the syringe heater and the syringe holder.
See the section “HS Tool” on page 25 .
• SPME Tools — Automates the SPME Fiber holder.
See the section “SPME 1 and SPME 2 Tools” on page 27 .
• ITEX Tool — Used for In-tube extraction technique.
See the section “ITEX-2 Tool” on page 30 .
The syringe consists of the holder to insert and keep the tool in position, the upper and lower
needle guide, and the PCB board.
The following attributes are generally stored with a TriPlus RSH Tool:
• Tool ID (Identification Number)
• Maintenance Counter for Couplings (total number of couplings for the tool)
• Maintenance Counter for Plunger movements (total number of plunger strokes/counts)
• Maintenance Counter Plunger movements of actual syringe (strokes or counts)
The same Tool holder is mechanically interchangeable for all syringes in the same class, with a
defined glass barrel diameter and needle length.
The specific attributes of the syringe can be added to the tool at the moment of installation.
The very first time you select a tool, define which syringe will be used for this specific tool.
Syringe attributes such as the Syringe Volume, Needle Length, and Plunger Type, must be
selected from the filtered pre-selection for the specific tool inserted in the TR Station.
A unique ID is used to monitor the tool during the application.
This number is used by the system to verify that the tool syringe settings are known and
applicable. If not, a new syringe definition will be required.
This concept allows to apply the same Tool Holder for different syringe sizes, as long as they
are within the same class, with the same glass barrel diameter and needle length. See the
example in
Figure 6 .
For example:
• Class: LS Tool
• Glass Barrel Diameter: 6.6 mm
• Needle length: 57 mm
This Tool Holder type is named D7-57. It can be used for the following syringe volumes, all
of which have a needle length of 57 mm: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10, 25, and 100 μL.
