HeadSpace Sample Conditioners

Optical measurement systems typically require that the sample undergo some conditioning to make it fit for the analyser’s method. Applied Analytics’ systems are built for direct analysis without cooling/drying the sample. This allows us to build far simpler, more elegant sample conditioning systems that retain high sample integrity and optimal response time.

In our experience, applications can be similar but are rarely identical. That is why we always work from the process realities to the drawing board, building custom sample conditioning for each project.

When a liquid is too opaque or dirty to transmit a light signal, direct optical analysis may be impossible. In this case, the composition of the liquid can be measured by heating the sample and analysing the vaporous 'headspace' gas. The headspace sampling system design uses Henry's Law to provide a highly effective analytical solution for opaque liquids, including: crude oil, dirty wastewater and amine solution.
