Automated Sample Preparation

For volatile and semi-volatile applications
In addition to traditional liquid autosamplers, the CP-3800 GC conveniently interfaces with a wide range of automation devices. For example, the Varian Archon and the Combi PAL combine both sample preparation and sample introduction in a single unit. Archon sets the industry standard for Purge and Trap automation (e.g., USEPA Method 5035). Combi PAL is the only GC sampling device that automates liquid and heated headspace injections, plus solid phase microextraction (SPME). Configuring the CP-3800 with advanced sampling devices minimizes sample preparation time associated with demanding samples.

Eliminate solvents. Combi PALs advanced SPME mode with agitation and heating rapidly extracts semi-volatile samples without costly solvents.

7 Reduce carryover. Archons automated hot water rinse effectively flushes contaminants from prior samples for improved analytical results.

Exceptional Performance
Optimized injectors for every application
Varian has the injector to meet every application need. All Varian injectors for the CP-3800 are available with Electronic Flow Control (EFC) or manual pneumatics. Varians EFC optimizes GC injector performance by electronically controlling column pressure, flow, and split vent flow. Also, EFCs pressure pulse capability lets you increase injection volumes for greater sensitivity without injector overload. Also, EFC modules are designed for special inlet configurations such as purge and trap, headspace, and valved systems for maximum performance. In addition, EFC conserves costly carrier gas with convenient software control by reducing the split vent flow between injections. Simplify injector set-up, shorten method development time, and facilitate application troubleshooting with EFC from Varian.
Minimal solvent tailing. Dual split vent efficiently eliminates residual solvent for improved sensitivity.

Dual Split Vent

Convenient injector interface. Intuitive screens provide quick and easy set-up for all injection parameters including pressure pulse.

Eliminate injection start errors. Varians AutoStart switch is automatically activated by the syringe to guarantee that every run starts immediately when the sample is injected.

Universal and Selective Detectors Ultimate sensitivity for demanding applications

Demanding applications require rugged and reliable detectors to assure quality results. Universal detectors provide high sensitivity for a wide range of routine samples. Varians selective detectors specifically eliminate matrix interferences while providing maximum sensitivity. All Varian detectors for the CP-3800 are available with EFC or manual pneumatics. With EFC, gas flows are optimized for each detector assuring easy set-up and operation. Varians comprehensive line of detectors guarantees a cost-effective solution to your application requirements.
