Sample Vial Types
The headspace sampler accepts 10- mL, 20- mL, or 22- mL
sample vials. Set the vial size in the method (see “To Create
a Method”). The vial size can change with each new method
used in a sequence, but not within a method. Using a
different vial size than expected by the method causes a
run- time exception.
The headspace sampler uses clear or amber glass sample
vials with crimp caps, or screw- cap vials. Use amber glass
vials for light- sensitive samples. Both types are available
with flat or rounded bottoms. Refer to your Agilent catalog
for consumables and supplies for acceptable vial types, or
visit the Agilent website at www.agilent.com/chem.
Incompatible sample vials can cause gripper errors (111 vial
model).
Vials must conform to the specifications shown in Figure 6.
