Limited Volume Inserts

 

Limited volume inserts are an ecomomical solution in sample analysis to reduce the use and waste of solvents and small samples. To ensure proper instrument performance and accurate test results, the guides below can be used to ensure that the correct insert is used with the appropriate autosampler vial.

 

 

Selecting the correct insert

 

Solvent Compatibility:
Glass  is  most commonly used for vial inserts. Polypropylene may be necessary when using pH sensitive samples.

 

Targeted Residual Volume:
Mandrel  point  inserts provide  the smallest   residual   volume   so   are suitable when minimising sample loss is important. Conical bottom inserts provide sufficient sample extraction for most applications.

 

Price:
Flat  bottom  inserts  are  the  cheapest and  may  be a viable option for limited sampling. Mandrel point vial inserts are the  most  expensive  but they minimize sample  loss  and  provide  excellent injection accuracy.
