The HTA Dynamic Headspace Autosampler has been engineered for integration with PEN3 and EDU to provide seamless and efficient automation for trace compound analysis. It combines robustness and reliability with the enhanced sensitivity typical of Dynamic Headspace (DHS) sampling.

Dynamic Headspace sampling is managed by the autosampler in a repeatable and efficient manner. Vials are transferred to the oven, where the sample is heated and simultaneously agitated to accelerate the process of reaching equilibrium. A double-needle system allows an inert gas to flow into the vial on one side, while transferring the volatile compounds to the connected analyser (EDU or PEN3) on the other.

The workflow incorporates intelligent process management, meaning sample incubation begins while the previous sample is still being analysed, thus maximising productivity and minimising downtime.
