INJECTION TRAPS : • In a metallic cylinder : few tens cubic millimeters of : • Carbosieve (light gases) • Tenax (‘heavy’ organic gases) • Cooled (Peltier element) down to -60°C max below ambient (trapping)Heated (Th.coax) up to 250 °C max (10secs max) (injection to CC) • COLUMNS : • 30 m metallic capillary columns (outer diameter .25mm) • Carbobond (light gases) • MXT5 (‘heavy’ organic gases) • Isothermal • Ramped from ambient up to 150 °C (Carbobond) • 250 °C (MXT5) M. Cabane (Univ. Paris): GAP/GC the Gas Chromatograph of GAP
DETECTORS : • Thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) • Thermal conductivity of He : 10 to 20 times t.c. of other gases • • Gaz mixture (He + xx + YY) goes from CC through TCD capillaries, and flows around micro-resistors … R varies when xx show up, id° when YY. • then • He • + • gas mixture • time of elution is recorded for xx, for YY (xx, YY …. identified from calib.)

To conclude : The Gas Chromatograph has been tested by elements (IT, CC, TCD) integrated into GAP tested into GAP models Its capabilities are fully compatible with what we want to do on Phobos with GAP It remains to continue calibrations at IKI ( on GAP test bed) and in France, at LATMOS-LISA (CC, TCD, IT) M.
