    It Is Important that yoU read thIs paGe before proceedInG! Teledyne Tekmar designs, manufactures, and tests their products to meet many national and international standards. The Versa is a sophisticated technical product and must be properly installed, operated, and maintained to ensure that it operates within normal specifications.

  • Page 11: Introduction

    Introduction statIc headspace Static Headspace is a technique used for sampling the gas phase of a sample. The technique can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Static Headspace can be separated into three basic operations, Sample Equilibration, Sampling and Injection. In this section of the manual the basics of Static Headspace will be described. sample equilibration The analysis is completed in a closed system making it impossible for the system to create or lose mass.

    Therefore, the three variables, temperature, pressure and volume, have a direct affect on the sensitivity of the system. The temperature in the Versa that would affect injection mass is the Valve Oven Temperature. The lower the temperature used, the denser the mass of the gas in the loop. The pressure affects the sensitivity in two areas: the higher the vial pressurization setting, the more dilution gas is added thus lowering sensitivity;...

  • Page 37: Sample Preparation

    basic operation sample preparatIon A properly capped and sealed vial is critical in maintaining sample integrity during headspace autosampling. The following are guidelines for proper vial preparation. Figure 3-1: Properly Sealed Vial When a vial is undercrimped, the cap shape will be concave and the cap can be easily rotated. The “tuck-under” on the vial will be at an angle, not in contact with the underside of the collar.

  • Page 38: Seal Quality Factors

    High quality glass vials may have a tolerance of +/- 0.2mm collar height and the seal may range in thicknesses of 2.5mm to 3.0mm. Teledyne Tekmar recommends that you use an adjustable crimping tool to allow for these variations. Hand or plier-type crimpers accommodate varying seals and vial thicknesses, but require more effort than automatic crimpers, especially when you have multiple vials to crimp at one time.

  • Page 39: Prepare Vials For Sampling

    prepare Vials for sampling 1. Place the cap on a firm surface. 2. Insert the septum into the cap (avoid contamination of the septum face, the shiny Teflon® face should always be face-down toward the vial). 3. Place the septum and cap together on top of the vial opening. 4.

  • Page 40: Spiking Prior To Capping

    spiking prior to capping The advantage of spiking a vial prior to capping is that the septum remains uncompromised and the potential for leakage is minimized. When spiking a vial prior to capping, the following precautions should be taken: 1. When spiking into a liquid matrix, be sure to inject the spike below the meniscus of the sample to minimize volatilization of the spiking material to the atmosphere.

    derivatization Another technique that is often used in headspace analysis is derivatization, which can drastically alter the partitioning coefficient by changing the structure of the compound. Compounds on which analysts typically choose to perform this step are alcohols, acids and amines, due to their poor partitioning and the tendency to interact with the sample pathway.

  • Page 75: Loop Fill Pressure

    Loop size Volume is controlled by the size of the loop selected. The standard loop that is shipped with the unit is 1mL. Teledyne Tekmar offers loops from 0.1mL to 5mL. The larger the loop, the more sample gas is transferred on column. It should be noted that before deciding to use a larger loop, due to the increased sensitivity, all other optimizations should be exhausted.

  • Page 76: System Pressure And Standby Flow

    There are two critical factors that need to be known to properly set the inject time, the GC carrier flow rate and the loop size. Teledyne Tekmar recommends that a minimum volume of three times the loop size should be flushed through the sample loop during inject to completely transfer the sample gas to the GC.
