PAL Smart SPME Arrow Method Development Kit

Recommended maximum GC inlet pressure is 50 psi or less.

All PAL Smart SPME Arrows have 20 mm of phase bonded onto stainless steel.

PAL system compatibility: Smart SPME Arrows are fully backwards compatible with any generation of PAL3 Systems. Additional hardware will be also required, including the SPME Arrow Tool, Heatex Stirrer, Arrow Conditioning Module, and Agitator Module with the perforated lid. The SPME Arrow is not supported on the HTS/Combi PAL systems.

Due to the relatively large diameter of PAL Smart SPME Arrows, you must modify the GC inlet using an instrument-specific conversion kit from Restek prior to use. Converted inlets are compatible with all standard injection techniques (SPME Arrow, liquid syringe, headspace, etc.); no need to switch inlets after installation.

Features & Benefits

• Rugged, stainless-steel construction ensures longer lifetimes.
• Faster extraction means higher sample throughput.
• Better sensitivity allows lower LODs.
• Choose format based on sampling technique:
  • 1.1 mm sleeve, if only using headspace sampling.
  • 1.5 mm wide sleeve, if using direct immersion sampling (works for headspace, too).
• Now with Smart technology—each Smart SPME Arrow is equipped with a unique Smart chip containing parameters, ranges, and usage history.
