Determine how you will connect the headspace sampler to the GC
How you connect the headspace sampler to the GC depends
on:
• The GC model
• The GC inlet type
• Optional HS accessories
• Whether or not you need to also use this same GC inlet
for other injection types (ALS or manual, for example)
See Table 3. Determine the connection best suited to your
hardware and needs.
