CombiPal with SMPE option - ballpark cost?

[Karen01]

Anybody have an idea about what a Combi-Pal with the SPME option goes for?

Thanks,

About 5 years ago we purchased Gertel's version for about $60,000 with all the SPME hardware and software including SPME license etc. A recent quote I received shows that Agilent sells the CTC/SPME/Headspace for about $41,000. Not sure if you need a software upgrade or activation or not. I know Chemstation has Gerstel's software integrated for their setup and I'm sure it is also for the CTC as that is the one Agilent sells with their GC systems. I'm pretty sure you need some version of MSDChemstation rev. E.0.0 or higher to operate these types of autosamplers without using an external software.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
If you want a system that carries out headspace, liquid and SPME at a reasonable price you can look for HT280T (HTA).
At this link you can find some information about it:

I hope this helps you.
