Hi all.
I am looking for an autosampler which is able to do some dynamic headspace analysis. I have looked at the Gerstel DHS and the Tekmar HT3. The Gestel solution is quite expensive. Does anyone have experience with the systems??

We had a HT3 for a while ( static only) which worked ok. There were quite a few issues with it at the begining , leaking valves etc. If I didnt need static headspace I would get a P&T unit only.
my $0.02

I used a prototype HT3 for a few months. The tekmar helpline was very helpful to get things online and I do also remember taking that creature apart several times. Again, it was a prototype, and once all the bugs were out, it did well. (Parts can be expensive though)

I've been using one for about 4 years now for static headspace analysis. Very pleased with it. Only issue was a broken vent valve, but that was just because an analyst overpressurized the system.
