Fused
silica lined canisters are the preferred means of collecting
VOC’s at ppm to sub ppb levels in the gas phase.
After analysis, the canisters must be cleaned for reuse
by eliminating all gas-phase and surface bound contaminants.
Failure
to remove all contaminants will cause carryover, false-positive
detection and poor quantification. In addition, heavier
organics remaining in the canisters can result in buildup
which may interact with the sample.

Canisters occasionally are contaminated beyond the capability
of any vacuum canister cleaner. Click here to download

The
3106A canister cleaning system brings simplicity and
effective quality control to the cleaning process.
During cleaning, canister evacuation is performed
in two stages. The first stage utilizes a diaphragm
pump to perform a rough evacuation of the canisters.
A molecular drag pump then further reduces the vacuum
down to the millitorr range. Both pumps are oil free,
eliminating the need for isolation traps. After evacuation,
canisters are refilled with humidified zero air or
nitrogen to dilute any remaining impurities. Cycling
between fill and evacuation effectively eliminates
all traces of VOC contaminants.
Up
to 24 SUMMA® or Silonite® canisters can be
cleaned at once. Canister connections are made to
a dual-path Silonite® manifold. Separate fill
and evacuation paths prevent backflushing of contaminates
into the cleaned canisters. The inverted canister
connections allow any size canister to be cleaned.
Transducers provide digital indication of the rough
pressure and vacuum (0-50 psia) as well as high vacuum
(0-2000 mtorr).

SmartLabII™ Control Interface
The 3106A is controlled using the Entech SmartLab™
Control Network which is capable of controlling an entire
air analysis laboratory from a single computer. Operating
under Microsoft Windows™ 2000 or XP the interface
includes screens for developing cleaning methods, running
the system automatically or manually, and performing
system diagnostics. Methods include selection of cleanup
parameters, automatic leak checking, and required vacuum
for final evacuation. During unattended operation, parameters
are saved to a report for quality assurance and to maintain
a permanent record of the cleaning and leak-checking
event. As with the other SmartLab™ peripherals,
system operation and vendor support is possible through
remote modem communication.
