Page 9: Section 3 Nems C9 Module Design
Section 3 NEMS C9 Module Design 3.1 Overview The NEMS C9 Module is driven by an APIX Analytical NEMS device and can be considered to be a standalone gas chromatograph unto itself. The device contains the column, heaters, injectors and detectors required for the measurement within a compact package. Figure A1 shows the APIX NEMS device.

Page 11: Gas Entry / Exit Connections
The sample line is shared between the GC oven and the NEMS C9 Module. Two separate flowmeters are used to control the flow of gas to the AccuChrome GC and to the APIX module. Carrier gas and actuation gas are both shared with the rest of the AccuChrome unit.
