8400/8410 Sampler • 2 different user Profiles: • Large throughput 8400 • Small volume, but best repeatability 8410 • All models • 2 ml vials only 8400 vs 3 different vial sizes (2,5,10 ml) in 8410 • Better accuracy than manual • Dual / Duplicate Capability • Inject Into Two Ports • Requires Only One Tower • Control Through LUI • Control via Work Station • Side mounted Sampler. • Syringe not over hot injection port • SPME mode option
8400/8410 Sampler • Flow Through Cell. • On-line sampling of liquids • Always fresh sample available • No time-consuming sample collection
8400/8410 Sampler • SPME. • Integrated • Part of method • Available on 436/456 & 8400/8410 • Large Solvent vials • Extends capacity of solvent vials to 100 ml • Solvent drain/waste line • No more full vials…. And a safe accumulation of solvent
Inert Mini Splitter • What is it: • In-line Splitter • Vent outlet for back flush • Low ithermal mass • Low dead volume • External heated (column oven) • Less connections = robust • Inert (UltiMetalTM) • No polymers used (Septa, O-rings) • Applicable to: • Gas samples only • SPT, PDHID based applications • Sulfur in Gas samples
Comparing Mini Splitter & S/SL • Mini Splitter • Smaller • Better Repeatability • S/SL • liquid injections • Separate heating • Different Liner designs Septum purge Metal column Carrier gas in Vent out Vent out Heating block Capillary column Capillary column
Safety Options • H2 Sensor - Senses Hydrogen in oven • Safety Shutdown when Hazardous error • Hydrogen flows set to zero • Other gas supply unchanged • Detectors set to off (also for filaments!) • Heated zones set to low (oven, injector, detector) • (ATEX) Certified • Personal safety on the lab • No flying parts after an “explosion”
Electronic Flow Controls • EFC Resolution: 0.001 psi for Superior Retention Time Stability Measured under standard conditions in split mode using CP-8400 autosampler. Different conditions and/or samples will affect the results.
Need for Fast? • Reduce column ID from 0.25 to 0.1mm • Reduce column length from 15 to 4 mtr • Increase column head pressure from 7 to 21 psi • Increase oven ramp rate from 10 to 65 ºC/min • Increase data rate from 25 to 200 Hz Sample is typical diesel sample in both chromatograms, run on apolar column phase..
Platform Flexibility – 4X6 can offer it! • Different Levels of ‘Delivery’, • depending on customer expectation (436 and 456 both)
Platform Flexibility Solutions - Examples Integrating Stream Conditioners Process Valves Valves with Micro packed Columns Multi-Stream Sampling and Automation LSV with Sample Port
Platform Flexibility Solutions - Examples Pneumatic High Temp. / High Pressure On/Off valve in sample line Packed column(-s) installed in Multi-valve oven

Competitive Landscape • Agilent - Intuvo: • Guard Chip • Works best for dirty samples, no need for other applications • Leak prone…depends on user skill • 1 channel only • Fast Heating option commonly not used (Temp transfer…) • No Wide bore columns only, max col length 50m • So not compliant to many solutions! • Not many valve options • Intuvo pricing. • Sometimes allows competing with 2*436 (productivity, Throughput) • Intuvo Consumable pricing
Competitive Landscape • Shimadzu - Nexis: • Low-Quality Plastic Covers… • User Interface is user unfriendly. • ‘Non’-features: • ClickTek Nut – ‘no tools’, special jig? Max Temperature 350°C, no COC! • Oven Light – Varians 3800 had that in 1998, and it was deemed unneeded….
Competitive Landscape • Shimadzu - Nexis: • Flow Control… • FID linearity… • known problem in GC-2010 • ≠ 107 FID-2030
