iConnect™ Helium Saver Split/Splitless (SSL) Injector TRACE™ 1300 Series GC

Greatly reduce helium consumption during gas chromatography analysis with the Thermo Scientific™ iConnect™ Helium Saver Injector. This proprietary split/splitless (SSL) module only uses helium to supply carrier gas flow to the capillary column, while nitrogen is used for all other injection processes including septum purge, split, and sample vaporization. Existing methods remain unaffected because helium only flows through the column to the detector or the MS ionization source and analyzer. You can, therefore, use your existing methods, sensitivity, and capabilities. This injector is for use with all Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1300 Series GC systems.

Features of the iConnect Helium Saver Injector

• Maximum helium consumption: column flow +5 mL/min
• Uses nitrogen for split flow and septum purge
• Suitable for capillary columns with internal diameters between 100 and 320 μm
• Supports P&T/TD/HS by special adapter
• Compatible with Merlin Microseal™ septum
• Maximum temperature: 400°C
• Requires Gas Purification Kit 1R120577-0001

Extends helium cylinder lifetime

The helium shortage inflicts price and supply uncertainty on a laboratory's ability to perform their research and analyses. With the iConnect Helium Saver injector, one helium cylinder can last:

• 3.5 years continuously used 24/7/365 for GC-MS analysis
• 14 years when you either shut the helium off or divert to nitrogen overnight and on weekends

Reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and enhance GC performance

iConnect injectors and detectors redefine GC and GC-MS flexibility and usability. In two minutes, without training or tools, you can change these modules to:

• Reconfigure your system for a specific workflow or method
• Perform maintenance and dramatically reduce maintenance downtime
• Switch injectors and detectors between TRACE 1300 Series GC systems
