Product catalog summary
Overview
The GERSTEL Cooled Injection System (CIS) is a versatile and widely used PTV-type universal inlet for gas chromatography (GC) and GC/MS. It supports various injection techniques, including Split & Splitless, On Column, and Large Volume Injection (LVI), enhancing detection limits and reducing sample preparation efforts.

Specifications and Features
  • Temperature Control: The CIS allows for precise temperature programming up to 650 °C, ensuring accurate analyte transfer without overheating or discrimination.
  • Cooling Options: Multiple cooling methods are available, including liquid nitrogen, CO2, cryostatic, and Peltier cooling, to suit different applications.
  • Compatibility: The system is compatible with all standard GC and GC/MS systems and can be controlled via GERSTEL MAESTRO Software or integrated with Agilent Technologies software.

Procedures and Applications
  • Thermal Desorption: The CIS is used for cryofocusing volatile compounds and is integral to GERSTEL systems incorporating thermal desorption techniques.
  • Large Volume Injection (LVI): The system supports LVI up to 1000 µL, optimizing injection parameters for improved detection limits and accuracy.
  • Automated Liner Exchange (ALEX): ALEX allows for automated replacement of contaminated liners, enhancing system efficiency and reliability for analyzing matrix-laden samples.

Benefits
  • Improved Detection: Cryofocusing and narrow analyte transfer bands improve peak shape and detection limits.
  • Rugged Analysis: The system minimizes interference from septum bleeding and ensures reliable analysis of thermally labile compounds.
  • Ease of Use: The intuitive MAESTRO Software facilitates method generation and setup, with context-sensitive help and an LVI Calculator for parameter optimization.

Conclusion
The GERSTEL CIS offers maximum flexibility and performance for GC and GC/MS applications, providing reliable and efficient analysis with minimal manual intervention.

Cooled Injection System CIS-2

GERSTEL Cooled Injection System CIS Universal inlet for all injection techniques used in GC and GC/MS The GERSTEL Cooled Injection System is the most widely sold PTV-type universal inlet in the world. The CIS combines high performance with unique flexibility. The CIS readily adapts to all liquid injection techniques used in GC and GC/MS: Split & Splitless, On Column and Large Volume Injection (LVI). Thanks to the CIS and its Septum-Less Head (SLH), detection limits are lowered and the effort required for sample preparation is reduced. Due to the controlled programmed heating rate, analyte transfer...

Cooled Injection System CIS-4

Reliable and efficient routine analysis of matrix laden samples GERSTEL Automated Liner EXchange ALEX Dirty Matrix samples can lead to significant contamination of the GC inlet liner after just a few injections. Peak broadening, analyte discrimination and other matrix build-up effects can be the result of such contamination. This causes the quality of the analytical data to suffer. In order to avoid this, the inlet liner should be exchanged regularly. Liner exchange is a task that requires several manual steps, and the interruption of the analysis sequence, making it impossible to run longer...
