iConnect™ Programmable Temperature Vaporizing with Backflush (PTV-BKF) Injector Module for TRACE 1300 Series GC

Extend the life of your analytical column, maximize laboratory throughput, and increase the robustness of your GC system. To eliminate unwanted high boilers, the pre-column backflush configuration combines backflush capabilities for normal and large volume injections.

The Thermo Scientific™ iConnect™ PTV-BKF injector removes the complexity and cost of an additional auxiliary gas module and facilitates method setup thanks to the self-adjusting pressure during backflushing.

• Supports hot/cold and splitless modes as well as large-volume (solvent split)
• Compatible with the Merlin Microseal™ septum
• Temperature range with air cooling: ambient +5°C up to 450°C
• Cryogenic option minimum temperature: -100°C with liquid nitrogen; -50°C with CO₂
• Temperature programming of up to 3 ramps at up to 870°C/min

Fast cooling

• Compact and limited thermal-mass design and efficient forced air circulation system
• A convenient cryogenic option is available for initial sub-ambient temperature applications

Quick and trouble-free maintenance

• Remove the liner from the top and gain complete access to the injector chamber

PTV injector with integrated concurrent backflush option

• Reverse the flow inside the injector
• Eliminate heavy or “undesired” compounds concurrently during analysis
• Increase throughput

Reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and enhance GC performance

iConnect injectors and detectors for TRACE 1300 Series GC 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 any TRACE GC Series systems
