Accuracy and precision are critical in blood-alcohol analysis because the toxicologist not only has to be confident in his or her results, but also must be prepared to withstand tough cross examination by defense attorneys. In addition, crime laboratories must comply with state regulations regarding blood-alcohol testing.
PerkinElmer has been delivering reliable GC sample-handling solutions since the introduction of its first headspace sampler (HS) over 40 years ago. Today the TurboMatrix™ HS-Clarus® GC package is the benchmark for blood-alcohol analysis. Trust PerkinElmer for an integrated HS-GC solution to maximize your analysis.
Automated headspace sampler with built-in trap and standard PerkinElmer 9mL or 22mL sample vials. Up to 40 vials can be loaded into the removable vial magazine for automated analysis. Overlapping thermostatting of up to 12 vials in Constant Mode for maximum productivity. A patented optimization algorithm adjusts the virtual oven size for maximum throughput. An optional frequency-scanning shaker is available to reduce equilibration time. No optimization of the shaking process is required.

Concurrent desorption of the next sample while the current sample is undergoing GC analysis optimizes productivity. Also incorporates loading of internal standard into clean tubes to provide sample-integrity validation and to improve precision (repeatability) of the analysis. Allows the ability to condition tubes during chromatography to minimize downtime and enhance productivity and also includes separate trap clean and test function, which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.
