Thermo TRACE 1310 GC FID System with Autosampler Overview
The Thermo TRACE 1310 GC FID System with Autosampler is a gas chromatography platform configured for quantitative analysis of organic compounds with reliable sensitivity and reproducible performance. Equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID), the system provides stable signal response across a wide linear range, making it suitable for routine and high-precision analytical workflows.
The system integrates a split/splitless inlet with electronic pressure control, enabling accurate carrier gas regulation and consistent sample introduction. The programmable oven supports multi-step temperature gradients, allowing efficient separation across a broad range of compound volatilities. An integrated 1310 AI/AS autosampler automates liquid injection, improving repeatability and supporting batch processing. The autosampler allows configurable injection parameters, including volume control and sequencing, to align with varying analytical methods. This configuration is commonly used in environmental analysis, petrochemical testing, and general laboratory applications requiring dependable quantification of hydrocarbons and related compounds.
