Sample Conveyor
The Lotix conveyor systematically moves sample vials to the sample position for sample introduction via the needle assembly. The conveyor is designed to hold thirty 40 mL VOA vials.
Needle Elevator Tower
The needle elevator raises and lowers the needle assembly using a pneumatic air cylinder. When lowered, the sample and pressurize needles puncture the septa of the vial. When raised, the needles are safely above the sample vial, allowing the sample conveyor to move the vial in the sample position out for rinse, and the next vial into the sample position.
Combustion Furnace
- Provides high temperature necessary to oxidize the carbon in the sample into CO2. The combustion tube contains a bed of proprietary catalyst that promotes oxidation of organics. By removing the side panel, one can gain complete access to the combustion furnace and tube. The design of the furnace permits easy installation, monitoring and maintenance of the combustion tube.
Wet Chemistry Panel
– An easily accessible and visible panel holds the Inorganic Carbon (IC) Sparger, Acid Bottle and Halogen Scrubber for the removal of chlorine and other halogens.
