2.13 Sample degasser
The sample degasser removes gas bubbles and disolved gases from the
sample. For degassing, the sample flows into a vacuum chamber through
a special fluoropolymer capillary.
Gas bubbles in the sample lead to poor reproducibility, as the quantity of
sample in the sample loop would not always be the same. Samples (con-
taining gas) should therefore be degassed before injection. For this the
sample is sucked through a degasser chamber before injection, whereby
any gas bubbles are automatically removed.
Note
When using the sample degasser, the rinsing time extends by at least 2
minutes.
