Product catalog summary
Overview of HS-20 Series Headspace Samplers
The HS-20 Series by Shimadzu Corporation is engineered for high reproducibility and low carryover in volatile component analysis. It incorporates advanced flow control and a unique sample vial entry mechanism to maintain thermal stability and minimize heat loss.
Key Features
  • High Reproducibility: Achieved through precise flow rate control and bottom entry of sample vials into the oven.
  • Low Carryover: Inert and short sample lines ensure minimal residue, even with polar compounds like acetic acid.
  • High-Temperature Compatibility: The oven can be configured up to 300°C, allowing analysis of high-boiling compounds.
Performance and Design
  • Sample Concentration: The trap model uses an electronic cooling trap for high-sensitivity analysis, concentrating low-boiling compounds.
  • User-Friendly Design: The sample tray is elevated for easy access, and the system supports simultaneous analysis of different vial sizes.
  • Easy Maintenance: Designed for easy replacement of consumables and maintenance from the top of the instrument.
Applications
  • Forensic Analysis: Ensures traceability and reduces operational errors with a user-friendly design and barcode reader.
  • VOC Analysis in Wastewater: High thermal stability and minimal carryover make it suitable for VOC measurement in wastewater.
  • Pharmaceutical Quality Control: Supports high quantitative accuracy with robust GC detectors and traceability features.
Technical Specifications
  • Vial Capacity: 90 vials with automatic leak check and optional barcode reader.
  • Temperature Settings: Vial warming up to 300°C, sample line up to 220°C, and transfer line up to 350°C.
  • Carrier Gas Control: Electronic control via AFC built into GC.
Specifications
The HS-20 Series operates with high-purity helium or nitrogen and is compatible with LabSolutions LC/GC software, compliant with FDA CFR 21 Part 11. It supports Windows XP, Vista, and 7 (32/64-bit) operating systems. The device functions optimally between 15 to 30 °C with humidity up to 70% RH, with guaranteed performance between 18 to 28 °C.
Power and Dimensions
The power consumption is 1200 VA max for HS-20 and HS-20LT models, and 1500 VA max for the HS-20Trap model. The dimensions are W553 mm × H430 mm × D543 mm, and the weight is 33 kg for HS-20 and HS-20LT, and 40 kg for HS-20Trap.
Sample Analysis
The system can analyze a wide range of VOCs, with a sample tray capacity of 90 vials. It features a Sulfinert sample loop and optional barcode reader. The system ensures high reproducibility and minimal carryover, making it suitable for batch analysis of VOCs in wastewater and pharmaceutical quality control.
Reproducibility
The document lists reproducibility data for various compounds, with RSD% values provided for multiple substances, indicating the precision of the system in repeated analyses.
Control and Software
The system uses electronic control via APC built into the GC and operates with HSS Control Software for GCMS. It includes features like all-vial automatic leak checks and digitized log functions for traceability.
Trademarks and Legal
The document notes trademarks such as Siltek, Sulfinert, Tenax, Carbopack, and Carboxene, and clarifies that the publication is for research use only, not for diagnostic procedures.

Headspace Sampler HS-20-3

Excellent Performance High Reproducibility The HS-20 Series achieves high reproducibility through both high-accuracy ow rate control via the pneumatic ow controller (Advanced Flow Control: AFC™ system) and a mechanism that allows sample vial to enter the oven from the bottom. Consequently, this system minimizes heat loss, and maintains high thermal stability during overlap analyses. Typical HS Sampler Internal heat easily escapes during vial transfer, temporarily reducing the oven temperature. Conveyance from the bottom makes it difficult for heat to escape from inside, improving oven temperature...
