I'm looking at autosamplers for my HPLC system and I've come across a few that are have a built-in cooling/heating system (eg. Shimadzu SIL-20A). My question is why would I need to this. Is this to prevent highly volatile liquid samples from evaporating and escaping the 1.5ml vials? Or something else.
I completely understand the need to have heated autosamplers for GC for headspace applications (eg. HS-GC, SPME-GC, etc) but for LC, I'm not sure what the purpose would be?
Any input would be great, sorry for the dumb question.
