  7. PASA™: Pressure Assisted Sample Aspiration

  8. Injection Principles • Full loop injections • Partial loopfill injections (up to 50% of loop volume) • µL pick-up injections

  9. Pre-flush Fill the sample supply line quantitatively inject

  10. Pre-flush Switch valve to Loadand cut off the diluted front load

  11. Full loop injection Unrivalled precision !Fill the sample loop load

  12. Full loop injection Switch valve to Inject inject

  13. Partial loopfilling Programmable injection volumes down to micro-volumes load

  14. Partial loopfilling Switch valve to Inject inject Max. injection Volume: 50% of sample loop

  15. Sample consumption • Full loopfill modeLoop = 20 µLStd sample needleTotal sample consumption:…………...? • Partial loopfill modeInj. Volume = 10 µLStd sample needleTotal sample consumption: …………..?

  16. Sample consumption • Full loopfill modeLoop = 20 µL 3 x 20 = 60 µLStd sample needle 2 x 15 = 30 µLTotal sample consumption: 90 µL • Partial loopfill modeInj. Volume = 10 µL 1x10 = 10 µLStd sample needle 2 x 15 = 30 µLTotal sample consumption: 40 µL
