Anyone has experience with autosampler and injector for SPME, headspace, liquid mode for GCMS? Any suggestion to the brands and models? I only find a CTC Analytics CombiPAL GC/GCMS model which has this functions. I wonder if there are any other? Could any users or experts please advise? Thank you very much.

Edwardchen,

HTA makes an autosampler that is capable of doing headspace and liquid injections. I am not sure if it is SPME capable. You should be able to find them on the web by searching HTA and autosampler. Varian's autosampler does liquids and SPME but I am not sure if they do headspace.

Best regards.

The Triplus from Thermo also has liquid, SPME and HS capabilities..

Thank you very much for your information. I wonder if the models from Varian and Thermo are adaptable to Shimadzu GC-MS instrument? Any idea?

I will admit that I don't know if shimadzu GC's are supportet by Thermo.. or if Shimadzu supports the Triplus.. But worst case it is always possible to control the Triplus from a stand-alone software..

Hi Edwardchen,

HTA's HT280T can perform SPME, head-space and liquid. You can find more info on HTA's website (http://www.hta-it.com)

Shimadzu GC and GCMS are all supported (you should find confirmation on their website).

The shimadzu GCMS and GC works perfect with the CTC CombiPAL.
You have full control of the sampler via the shimadzu software.
