Definitions:
Open System - Unretained compounds/gases allowed to pass through sorbent for removal by pump/vacuum.
Closed System - Completely isolated during extraction, so breakthrough of even the lightest compounds isn't possible. Allows recovery of wider boiling point range.
5800 Sorbent Pen™ Desorption Unit
The 5800A SPDU is a thermal desorption system designed to reliably deliver samples collected on Sorbent Pens™ to a GC or GCMS. A “direct to GC” approach is used to simplify the support strategy, while achieving truly remarkable chromatographic resolution during splitless or split injections into a GCMS. Most other thermal desorption systems desorb samples far removed from the GC, requiring rotary valves, long transfer lines, and additional trapping and desorption stages to finally deliver the sample to the GC column. Long sample path lengths often result in reduced recoveries, both due to the addition of reactive surfaces, and the eventual deposition of very low vapor pressure compounds that will likely affect the transport of target compounds to the GC. The 5800A eliminates these concerns by desorbing samples directly into the GC, allowing consistent analytical results with minimal maintenance. The 5800A supports multiple injection modes including SPLIT, Tandem-SPLIT™, and SPLT/SPLTLESS to optimize sensitivity and GC column loading while minimizing the on column injection bandwidth. All 4 types of Sorbent Pens are supported (HSP, FSP, DSP, & ASP), while maintaining a vertical position of the Sorbent Pens through the entire heating and cooling cycle to prevent the formation of gaps along the walls of the tube which would otherwise increase channeling during subsequent sampling events. The 5800A supports 2 split ports that are used for split injection, bakeout, backflushing, and focusing operations. The 5800A SPDU can be used without automation by introducing Sorbent Pens to the 5800A one at a time, or the SPR40A Sample Prep Rails can automate the analysis of up to 120 Sorbent Pens unattended.
-
Direct thermal desorption of Sorbent Pens into all 3 major GC brands

New, High Performance “HiPer Liner” maximizes transfer of compounds to GC under low or Splitless flowrates
-
Supports Tandem-SPLIT™ injections for dramatically reduced carrier gas consumption when performing high split injections
-
Maintains sorbent devices (Pens) in the vertical position to avoid “wall-gaps” when sorbents are cooled in a horizontal tube
-
Entech SPRINT control software orchestrates either manual or multi-sample automated analysis
-
Takes thermal desorption technology to the next level of consistency and performance
SideBar Organizer for 5800/3801A Solutions
The SideBar from Entech is a rail organizer that uses the same clamping system found on the Entech SPR40(A) and VXB Rail Systems. The SideBar holds the SPR-MCA Controller, the 3801A Thermal Conditioner, a few Pens or even a whole tray of Pens in close proximity to the 5800A SPDU, to support an organized approach for manual Pen analysis. The SideBar stays out of the way of liquid autosamplers and other equipment on the GC/GCMS, to make it easier to go back and forth between applications. Bring the power of the Sorbent Pen into your laboratory using the SideBar, and then move up to the fully automated SPR40A Robotic Autosampler when sample quantities increase. Not available for ASP/DSP applications due to lack of standard spiking support.
5800 SPDU - Unique Sample Handling / Injection Techniques Only from Entech!
5800 SPLIT Mode
Original 5800 SPDUs used 1mm ID columns to perform SPLIT Mode injections, but unfortunately this “filmless” column did not allow effective residual capture and backflush removal. The 5800A SPLIT Mode uses short 15cm x 0.53mm ID columns with 0.25 to 5um films depending on the boiling point range of target compounds. For volatiles analysis, a thicker film is used to capture compounds during preheat gas expansion for splitting between the backflush column and the GC column.
5800 SPLT/SPLTLESS Mode
The SPLT/SPLTLESS Mode uses a Capillary Focusing Column where specific film thicknesses, lengths, and GC oven temperatures combine to completely retain selected compounds during initial Pen desorption. A desorb flow of 2-10cc/min is used to deliver compounds through the Focuser, so during the 1-5 minute desorption the unretained compounds are split from 2:1 to 10:1 as they are transferred to the GC Column. This allows desorption rates that are 2-10x higher than GC Column flow rates, with low split recovery of lighter compounds and splitless recovery of compounds retained on the Capillary Focusing Column. Changing the length and film thicknesses of the Focuser and GC Column can optimize the range of compounds that can transfer fully splitless. No other thermal desorption system offers the GC Chemist so much power and flexibility to optimize method performance!!! The Focusing Column can be changed without affecting the vacuum in the mass spectrometer. This Mode uses the High-Performance “HiPer Liner” to maximize compound transfer to the Focuser and GC Columns at low flow rates.
