HIGH PERFORMANCE SUB-AMBIENT TEMPERATURE MULTI-CAPILLARY COLUMN PRECONCENTRATION SYSTEM FOR VOLATILE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
20190137458 · 2019-05-09 ·

The disclosed system and method improve analysis of chemical samples for measurement of trace volatile chemicals, such as by Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). The system can include two traps in series, the first of which removes most of the unwanted water vapor, while the second trap preconcentrates the sample using a series of capillary columns of increasing adsorption strength. The sample can be backflushed from the second trap directly to a chemical analyzer without splitting which can maximize sensitivity. The system improves elimination of water vapor and fixed gases from the sample prior to analysis, resulting in detection limits as low as 0.001 PPBb. The second trap allows faster release of the sample upon injection to the chemical analyzer without additional focusing, and can be cleaned up faster when exposed to high concentration samples relative to packed traps.

Microparticle composition analyzing apparatus

Despite the desire to measure the composition and concentration of the microparticles included in a gaseous body sample serving as the measurement target, there is a problem that measurement cannot be performed accurately due to the effect of substances other than the gaseous body sample adsorbing to a trapping body of the analyzing apparatus that traps the microparticles, for example. Therefore, provided is a microparticle composition analyzing apparatus that analyzes composition of microparticles contained in a gaseous body sample, comprising a gas analyzer and a control section that sequentially introduces into the gas analyzer a comparative gas and a sample gas caused by the microparticles generated by irradiating the gaseous body sample with a laser.
