The volatiles interface provides a simple, reliable way to
introduce a gas sample into your GC from an external device
such as a headspace, purge and trap, or air toxic sampler.
Manual syringe injections cannot be made with this
interface. The interface has a small volume and is highly
inert, ensuring high sensitivity and resolution for
applications requiring trace level detection.

Total flow to the interface is measured by a flow sensor and
is divided into two streams. One stream connects to the
septum purge regulator; the other connects to a frit block. At
the frit block, the flow is further divided. The first stream
