The AOC-5000 provides a fully automated SPME (solid phase microextraction) sample
preparation process.*
All movements of the SPME fiber, from precondition, adsorption and desorption are precisely
controlled for optimum precision. Prior and during extraction the samples can be shaked and
heated, which dramatically reduces analysis time for semivolatile compounds. Variable vial
penetration depth allows to extract the compounds in liquid sample itself or in the headspace
extract the compounds are thermally desorbed in the hot GC injector, the fiber may be fully
cleaned again in a special heated and purged cleaning station.
