TELEDYNE TEKMAR Automated VOC Sample Prep System

The Lumin Purge and Trap Concentrator (PTC) is a sample preparation instrument used to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) out of aqueous and solid sample types using Helium or Nitrogen. The VOCs are deposited onto a sorbent trap which is then heated to release the VOCs into a Gas Chromatograph (GC) system. This technique is standard for many EPA Methodologies as well as analytical options where concentration of VOCs is required. Teledyne Tekmar has been the leader in this technology since its first PTC was released in the 1980s. Tekmar has continued to improve on this technique...

How It Works Purge and Trap extracts VOCs from the sample matrix using a controlled flow and deposits the VOCs onto a sorbent trap, which is then heated and back flushed to a GC or GC/MS system. While this theory is simple, many factors affect the performance of the system. The Lumin PTC employs the latest technology in all of its components from a patented electronic Mass Flow Controller (MFC) to improved moisture control, to a redesigned, intuitive software control that monitors the entire system performance. Applications and Industries VOC sampling and analysis are used in a wide range...

Features The Lumin was designed from the ground up to provide the highest levels of productivity in the laboratory. Some of the Lumin’s time saving features include: Reduced trap cooling times - The Lumin uses a trap cooling fan that, in conjunction with dedicated ducting, reduces trap cooling times by 22% or more over previous models. This is made possible by pulling air from outside the Lumin, rather than from within the unit. Shorter cool down time means more samples per day. Simplified access to the trap box - Full access to the analytical trap is now as simple as opening a door. This...

Inert Heated Sample Path When dealing with active, polar, and high boiling compounds, it is imperative to keep your sample contained in an inert sample pathway. The Lumin PTC utilizes Inertium® tubing and SilcoNert® 2000-treated fittings throughout the sample path. This ensures resistance to corrosion and prevents loss of compounds. Consolidated Solenoid Valve Manifold The solenoid valve manifold has been consolidated and moved to the front of the Lumin for easy access, greatly simplifying routine maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.

Fully Optimized User Interface Lumin TekLink™, the latest generation of the TekLink™ family, is fully touch screen compatible, and offers a simpler, cleaner, more intuitive layout, as compared to previous versions. LuminTekLink™ is capable of performing useful diagnostics such as leak and benchmark tests for validation. All instrument parameters, method scheduling, and editing can be programmed. Lumin TekLink1" provides pre-developed methods, allowing startup with little or no modifications. Lumin TekLink Main Screen - Main screen has clean layout presenting four main options: Methods,...

Leak Check Screen - The Leak Check screen identifies the region of the system that is being checked and the time remaining of the leak check. Benchmark Screen - The Benchmark screen contains an interactive program that tests heaters, LEDs, and the continuity of inputs and outputs on the CPU board. The results of the Benchmark Test are saved in the System History Log under the name entered before starting the benchmark. Lumin Specifications Automation Cycle Time: Less than 15 minutes when using an 11 minute purge time. This time also includes desorb, bak, and cool down for the Lumin only and...
