Inlet Liners for GC Trace Analyses

Answer

This Information Applies To: Agilent GC Systems with Split/Splitless (S/SL) inlet

Issue

Different liners are required for different splitless trace analysis techniques including:

• General use liners 
• Pressure, temperature, volume (PTV)
• Hot inlet
• High recovery
• Cold multimode
• Headspace (HS) and purge and trap (P&T)
• Solid phase micro extraction (SPME). 

Inlet liner choice is part of method validation, and the same liner type must be used consistently while running that method.
