OPTIC-4 MultiMode Inlet

OPTIC is a highly advanced Gas Chromatograph multi-mode inlet system with sophisticated temperature and gas flow control that can be used for the most demanding GC analyses. The current version OPTIC-4 can be used for the following injections: 

  • Cold Injections
  • Large Volume Injections
  • Thermal Desorption
  • Pyrolysis (liquid and solid)
  • In-injector Thermochemolysis
  • Cryogenic trap
  • On-column injections
  • Deans’ Switch control
  • GCxGC Modulation control

Starting from Evolution Workstation software version 4.5.1 it is even possible to control a Deans’ Switch or flow modulator with the OPTIC Multi-Mode Inlet.

The patented design of the injector body helps to have the best transfer of the compounds from the inlet onto the analytical column. This can be seen both for volatile and non-volatile compounds.

OPTIC-4 Multi Mode Inlet can cool very fast because of the low thermal mass. The GC inlet system can work from cryogenic temperatures (-150°C) up to very high temperatures (600°C) with a ramp rate up till 60°C/sec. With the optional inlet peltier cooler it is possible to cool faster and initial temperatures of +7°C. 

 

OPTIC-4 Multi Mode Inlet is designed to be compatible with most popular makes and models of GC and GC-MS instruments.

OPTIC systems consists of the injector, the control unit and the dedicated control software - Evolution Workstation. Evolution Workstation graphically displays all the system parameters in a real time mode and gives a possibility to save the run-time data for every injection. The Evolution Workstation can be integrated into Master lab, MassHunter, Chemstation, Clarity, Analyst, EZChrom and Xcalibur by the Chronos master software. The PAL system can be controlled direct from Chronos as well.
