ENCON, Purge and Trap Concentrators, New

Scientific Equipment Source carry the EST Encon brand of Purge and Trap Concentrators. EST has developed this after over 100 years of combined purge and trap experience at EST.

This is one of the most versatile, reliable, accurate and easy to use purge and trap concentrator in the world and is backed with superior service. Techlabs can arrange a free demonstration for you.

Features and Benefits

• Optional patented foam sensor protects your entire analytical system
• The RSVP – remove the entire sample pathway in under three minutes
• Integrated GC and on-trap injection ports for diagnostic troubleshooting runs
• Troubleshooting Mode – provides individual control of all valves and heaters
• Moisture Reduction Trap (MoRT)™ provides excellent reproducibility by removing moisture on the purge side.
• An 8-port valve allows the Moisture Reduction Trap to be excluded from the desorb pathway. Dead volume is dramatically reduced during desorption, improving resolution and sensitivity over the entire chromatogram.
• Silcosteel® pathway for maximum inertness
• Completely compatible with the EST Model 8100, the new Centurion water only autosampler, Archon, and other autosamplers
• Integrated vacuum fluorescent display and status LEDs
• Numeric keypad and integrated processor capable of storing 20 methods
• Trap bake gas separate from glassware bake gas minimizing carryover between samples. Compounds being removed from the trap during the Bake cycle are not swept into a non-heated sample pathway zone.
• Capable of <18 minute purge & trap cycle times
• High trap bake flows
• Trap heating rate >900 °C/minute
• Trap cool down rate <2 minutes

The Encon is quickly becoming the number one purge and trap concentrator on the market today!

Accessories

• Sample heater
• Cryogenic trapping
• Cryogenic focusing
• Foam sensor

To protect the concentrator from foaming samples, a foam detector, which uses conductivity to sense the liquid as it rises in the sparge vessel, is placed in the upper portion of the sample mount. When foam is detected, the system will immediately cut off the flow of purge gas to the vessel and open the pathway to atmosphere to eliminate pressure in the system which could force the foaming sample into the sample pathway. The Encon will continue to step through the method, but during desorb, the trap will not be heated or put on line with the GC. The GC will be sent a start signal to keep your sample sequence in order. The trap will then go on to bake out the vent as usual and the system will be ready for the next sample.
