Thermal CT-SMMengl2006                        Applications  Incubator for headspace analysis  Incubator for SPDE™  Incubator for SPME  Sample preparation for mixing, cooling and heating of various liquids  Sample derivatization SPME or SPDE in Liquid The most beneficial application of the Single Magnet Mixer is SPME or SPDE immersed in liquid. When immersed in liquid, the SMM is gentle with the fiber and needle. Thermal The liquid is mixed by a small magnet inside the vial and creates a vortex at high speeds. Fiber lifetime is significantly increased due to the gentle mixing within the SMM. This is especially true for PDMS fibers, which are known for having a longer lifetime than other fiber materials. The SMM immerses the fiber in the liquid, and the magnet inside the vial provides a fast equilibrium between the fiber and the sample. The sampling takes place while the system is closed. Data show that the SMM has favorable reproducibility and up to 15% higher response rates than an agitator. This ratio increases with higher boiling compounds. System Features  Intensive mixing capability by using magnetic stir bar for quick equilibrium  Easy comparison/transfer between manual and automated methods  No temperature gradients inside the vial – even while sampling  Heats up to 150°C  Optional Peltier Cooling available  Fully automated sampling through closed housing  PAL controls all heating and mixing cycles  Controllable with Firmware or Cruise Control Software  Integrates with Agilent ChemStation  Adapters available for 2 mL or 10 mL vials Fig. 1. Combi PAL with Single Magnet Mixer and optional purging station SINGLE MAGNET MIXER Fig. 2. Peltier-Cooler SMM  The attachable Single Magnet Mixer (SMM) gives you access to a wide range of interesting applications with your CTC Combi PAL autosampler. The Mixer is nothing other than an automated stirring plate, which rotates the magnet located in each vial at speeds of up to 750RPM. At the same time, it can be used to heat or cool your sample.
