  • Page 19: Chapter 1: Introduction

    Lumin User Manual Chapter 1: Introduction The Lumin is a modern laboratory instrument designed to concentrate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from samples using the Purge and Trap (P&T) technique. The Lumin uses advanced P&T technology that allows accelerated automatic processing of liquid samples for analysis by Gas Chromatograph (GC).

  • Page 20: Brief History

    1.1.2 Brief History In the 1960’s, P&T was used in the study of bodily fluids. In the mid-to-late 1970’s, P&T became a technique that was well-known and widely applied due the need to monitor VOCs in drinking water. Using this technique, it was possible to detect sub-ppm level VOCs of a wide variety.

  • Page 21: Trapping, Adsorption And Desorption

    At this point a portion of the headspace can be removed and injected into the GC for analysis. This technique isknown as Equilibrium Analysis or Static Headspace Analysis. The amount of material in the vapor phase will be proportionalto the partial pressure of the component.

    GC Interface Designed to Interface with virtually all commercially available GC instru- ments. Column Compatibility Teledyne Tekmar recommends the use of 20 m x 0.18 mm ID Fast Vola- tiles columns. Table 1-2 Performance Specifications Cycle Time The cycle time for the unit is ≤ 15 minutes when using an 11 minute purge time.

  • Page 28: Mass Flow Controller (Mfc)

    1.4.5 Mass Flow Controller (MFC) The Lumin incorporates a patented (US 7,651,866) mass flow controller to monitor and control the gas flow rates throughout the entire purge and trap process. Once set, the parameters remain precisely controlled throughout all modes of operation and achieve highly repeatable analyses.

  • Page 29: Analytical Trap

    1.4.7 Analytical Trap The analytical trap is used to capture and release VOCs swept out of the sample by the purge gas. Once VOCs are captured, the trap is heated, causing the VOCs to desorb. The trap is then back-flushed with carrier gas carrying the VOCs to the GC for analysis. The analytical trap is heated using a heating jacket which surrounds it and cooled by a fan at the top of the analytical trap compartment.

    Figure 1-6 Moisture Control System 1.4.9 Carrier Gas Inlet Line/Heated Sample Transfer Line The Carrier Gas Inlet line is the inert tubing that runs down the side of the heated sample transfer line from the GC. Carrier gas is used to desorb VOCs off the analytical trap and carry them through the sample transfer line back to the GC.

    If an autosampler is being used in conjunction with the Lumin, a higher standby temperature may be selected for the trap and condenser since these zones will continue to cool after the Lumin has advanced to purge ready. This can be done since the autosampler will require a period of time to prepare the next sample.

  • Page 126: Purge Mode

    4.4.6 Purge Mode During Purge Mode, gas is passed through the sample. This causes volatiles to be removed for analysis. Purge has two controlling factors: the duration of purging and the flow rate of the gas. This determines the total amount of gas passed through the sample referred to as the purge volume.

    5.31.6 Top-of-Trap (TOT) Injection Port NOTE It is recommended that a Leak Check be performed according to Section 5.31.2 "Initial Leak Check" before the TOT injection port is installed to confirm that the system is leak tight. A TOT injection port can be installed into the Sample Mount of the Lumin to aid in troubleshooting potential problems associated with the concentrator or in the evaluation of purge efficiencies of target analytes.
  • Page 195 Install the Assembled TOT Injection Port NOTE If both an autosampler and the foam eliminator are installed on the unit, one of them must be removed. Otherwise, the autosampler can remain in place and the TOT injection port can be installed into the other available mount fitting. ™...
  • Page 196 TOT Injection Port Assembled and Installed Figure 5-68 Figure 5-9: Software Configuration Once the TOT Injection Port fitting has been installed and is leak tight, perform the analyses in a standalone configuration (without autosampler). NOTE For SolaTek 72, non-Tekmar autosamplers or no autosampler, the unit is already configured as a standalone unit.
  • Page 197 Sample Mount. NOTE Teledyne Tekmar recommends the use of a 10 μL syringe or smaller for TOT injection to prevent the injection port septum from being “cored” and, subsequently, causing a leak.
