Introduction

TurboMatrix 100 TD: Single-tube, manual-pneumatics model, can

be upgraded to the automated version. Also includes a separate trap-

clean-and-test function, which saves time and protects the GC

column and detector. Can be upgraded to the TurboMatrix 150 ATD.

TurboMatrix 150 ATD: Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes with

manual pneumatics. Overlaps tube desorption with GC analysis for

optimum productivity. Also includes a separate trap-clean-and-test

function which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.

TurboMatrix 300 TD: Single-tube model, incorporating

programmable pneumatic control (PPC), upgradeable to the

automated version. Supports pressure, flow and velocity control of

the carrier gas through the GC column. Also includes a separate trap-

clean-and-test function which saves time and protects the GC

column and detector. Upgradable to TurboMatrix 350 ATD.

TurboMatrix 350 ATD: Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes,

incorporating PPC. Supports pressure, flow and velocity control of

the carrier gas through the GC column. Overlaps tube desorption

with GC analysis for optimum productivity. Also incorporates

loading of internal standard into clean tubes to provide sample-

integrity validation and to improve precision (repeatability) of the

analysis. Allows the ability to condition tubes during

chromatography to minimize downtime and enhance productivity

and also includes a separate trap-clean-and-test function which saves

time and protects the GC column and detector.

TurboMatrix 650 ATD: Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes,

incorporating all of the performance features of the TurboMatrix 350

ATD model plus the ability to re-collect sample (on the source or a

new tube) for repeat analysis, the ability to perform dry purge of the

tube without the internal standard accessory, and the ability to

perform tube and trap impedance measurement as a diagnostic of

adsorbent bed condition.
