Abstract
A new multichannel autosampler which can automatically analyze up to twenty samples in sequence has been developed for Curie point pyrolysis – capillary GC. Compared with a previous system [1] the transfer line between the pyroysis unit and chromatograph is shorter, and thus has less dead volume, and can be operated at a higher temperature (300 °C). The relative yields of higher boiling point, highly polar, and thermally labile pyrolysates generated from polymers, and the reproducibility, were better than those obtained from the previous autosampler. To facilitate rapid operation an additional flow controller is installed on the new device to shorten the time taken to purge air from the sampler.
