12.5Split/Splitless Injection System
Q Split injection system
In a split injection system, only a portion of the sample injected into the injection port is
introduced into the capillary column. The remaining sample is sent to the split line due to
high sample volume. (Refer to “3.4 AFC and APC control”.)
Fig. 12.5.1
Q Splitless injection system
The splitless injection system is used to analyze samples of low concentration.
In a splitless injection system, the split vent is closed and the initial temperature of the column
oven is low. Then, after injection, and once the vaporized sample has moved to the column,
the split vent is open and the column temperature increased so that the condensed sample
inside the column is vaporized again and separated. (Refer to “3.4 AFC and APC control”.)
