Cryo-Free System
7200CTS+ vs Unity-xr™/CIA Advantage-xr™
Based on a revolutionary patented capillary column trapping system, packed traps have been totally eliminated from the design. If eliminating LN2 is high on your list, you have to look at the benefits of the 7200CTS relative to other commercial offerings:
7200CTS requires less than half of the bench space vs. Markes CIA Advantage-xr
Eliminates temperamental Peltier Cooling, using just fans to cool down to trapping temperatures (35°C typical).
Far better water management than the competition, whether analyzing canisters at 3% RH to virtually 100% RH.
Capillary traps produce far better peak shape for light end compounds than the competition, without having to split the sample during injection.
Now Nitrogen compatible. Drops total Helium consumption of 7200CTS+ and GCMS by as much as 90%
Split-less injections create compatibility with next generation smaller canisters for ambient air monitoring.
Far more resistant to contamination.
Faster cool down times after bakeout (3-3.5 min).
Amazing linearity over a very wide dynamic range of concentrations (1000x) means fewer dilutions, fewer reruns, and therefore greater productivity.
Most compounds showing single-digit %RSDs across a wide range of concentrations. Easily meets or exceeds EPA TO15 requirements
Improved low volume measurements (3cc), with a built in loop to reduce volumes down to 1cc to further reduce the need for sample dilution.
All this at a lower price than the competition!
Compatible with many more autosampler options, including robotic systems, than Markes Unity-xr
Cryogenic System
7200A+ Features
Upgraded and improved version of the 7200, so migration to the 7200A will create virtually no changes in data packages and reporting limits.
Much shorter run times and cycle times = Higher Productivity. Cycle times as short as 20-25 minutes for 250mL sample.
Extremely Fast Injection Technology (EFIT) reduces bandwidth to 1 second or less on column and provides for peak widths of just 1.5 to 2 seconds.
Reduced LN2 consumption compared to prior preconcentrators (7200, 7100A)
Superior water management reduces impact on GCMS relative to prior art
Less column bleed resulting in better baselines and fewer source cleanings
Now Nitrogen compatible. Drops total Helium consumption of 7200A+ and GCMS by as much as 90%
As with all Entech preconcentrators, NO mass flow controllers.
Accu-Sample Technology that improves data reliability and inter-sample isolation.
Improved trap heater design for more even heating and cooling.
Better sample to sample precision, especially for smaller volumes (soil gas).
Greater method consistency from one 7200A to the next.
Improved water management.
Better linearity.
Overall greater productivity.
Faster Cycle Times, Less Contamination, Less Downtime, Fewer Dilutions, No issues with high CO2/Methane.
Far less bench space than competitors offerings.
Utilizes weaker adsorbents than competitor's preconcentrators, allowing much faster clean-up.
New intuitive software design with enhanced interface. Win 7/8/10 compatible. Greater network security.
Rapid Parts Access. Long Term Production. Online Support.
