Sample conditioning techniques are important to preserve sample integrity and protect the column and internal module parts of the Micro GC. Over time, contaminants from sample injections can foul the columns and parts of the modules. Moisture and other liquids, particles and sub-micron sized mist can foul the columns. Agilent offers a Genie
membrane filter to avoid this problem. Samples which may require conditioning to control sample evaporation can be passed through the
Micro-Gasifier to provide controlled LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) sample evaporation prior to injection. High pressure gas samples can be reduced without creating cold spots, preventing discrimination in the sample.
