With some SPME fibers, a high temperature is necessary to desorb high boiling residues completely. Often the GC injector cannot be set to a high enough temperature because a column with a low temperature limit is installed. A SPME Fiber Conditioning Station can clean the fiber after desorption in a separate dedicated heating station. During this cleaning process the fiber can be heated up to 350°C and is purged with an inert gas flow. In a second heated and purged port a new fiber can be prepared already offline for following analyses. The cleaning process can be performed after every injection using the method parameter bakeout time, or after completion of a whole job queue by adding an extra cleaning job.
A large selection of CTC Autosamplers with tray, Headspace, and SPME options are also available.
