This product is particularly advantageous in the areas of food testing, energy, fuel, polymer, pharmaceutical and other operations that are analytical in nature. The SHS-40 sampler can be integrated along with the SCION Series and the 400-GC Series of GC-MS systems. The SHS-40 requires minimal intervention from operators and makes method development simple. It can also be used for various regulations in the analysis of volatile organic compounds.
The sampler can be configured in various modes according to the volume of the sample. It can also handle a fixed or fluctuating sample volume or use inject or press methods. It also has various modes to control the temperature of the samples and can also undertake either routine analysis or in-depth analysis of volatile organic compounds as it is equipped with a six-way injector valve that is electrically actuated. The product was unveiled at the Analytica AnaCon India Conference. According to Colin D’ Silva, President of Bruker Chemical and Applied Market division, the SHS-40 Automated Headspace sampler is a vital addition to its GC-MS product portfolio and leads to increase in productivity and cost effectiveness in the analysis of gas chromatography.
