Canister Tree Auto-sampler
Features
Applications
Specifications
Wasson-ECE’s Canister ‘Tree’ is an Autosampler custom designed with 16 shelves that are able to provide automated sampling from a variety of canisters, cylinders and/or Tedlar bags. The system is designed for both ambient and pressurized gas samples; it also includes an option to utilize an external vacuum pump for environmental sampling to minimize sample contamination from residual air.
Need
Limited Benchtop Space
Wasson-ECE’s Canister tree offers a practical and economical solution to a busy lab’s need to sample from many canisters that can take up significant space on a benchtop. The vertical design allows for floor placement and the wheels allow easy mobility for storage elsewhere.
This custom-engineered Auto-sampler offers versatility and can accommodate a combination of up to 16 canisters (Entech or Silcocan), cylinders, and/or Tedlar bags, saving your lab from having to purchase, store and use multiple devices.
Reproducibility
Operator variance when sampling from canisters into a GC reduces reproducibility. This laboratory device eliminates this variance and increase reproducibility.
Quick Turnaround - Tedlar Bags
Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection to mitigate any losses due to permeation. Depending on the analytes of interest and method compliance, this timeframe is generally between 24 and 72 hours. Lack of available manpower can delay analysis.
Wasson-ECE’s Canister Tree is designed to help busy laboratories increase throughput and reduce manpower requirements through unattended, automated sampling of up to 16 samples.
Differentiation
Wasson-ECE’s custom-engineered Canister Tree Auto-sampler has a lower ultimatevacuum (20L/min flow rate) and a pre-purge method to avoid contamination from residual air in the tubing (compared to the standard pump).
Versatility
The Canister Tree Auto-sampler offers versatility and can accommodate a combinatino of up to 16 canisters (Entech or Silcocan), cylinders, and/or Tedlar bags.
This Auto-sampler is also designed for both ambient and pressurized samples.
Shelves can accommodate differently-sized canisters, cylinders, and bags.
Topline Specifications
Wasson-ECE’s Canister ‘Tree’ Gas Auto-sampler is custom designed with 16 shelves that can be modified for specific models/sizes of canisters, Tedlar bags and cylinders. This system is designed for both ambient and pressurized samples; a stop flow valve is included for pressurized samples.
In addition to the internal diaphragm pump, an optional external vacuum pump is available for environmental sampling to provide additional purging of the lines to minimize sample contamination from residual air.
Lines and fittings are specially passivated to avoid potential issues with reactive components.
