Programmed Temperature Vaporization Inlet (PTV) 240
Split modes
Pulsed split modes
The pressure pulse modes (using the septum- or septumless head) increase
inlet pressure just before the beginning of a run and return it to the normal
value after a specified time. The pulse sweeps the sample out of the inlet and
into the column faster, reducing the chance for sample decomposition in the
inlet.
