In practice
Agilent 8860 GC with PHASER Pro.
Yassin Hardi reports on the installation of an Agilent 8860 GC with a PHASER Pro from GL Sciences at Dreidoppel GmbH. The olfactory port complements gas chromatographic separation with human perception of odours.
The transfer line, which is heated to the end, can be temperature-controlled in accordance with the furnace program. Humidified air and a flexible gooseneck support the odor assessment when sitting or standing. The article also mentions SplitManager for calculating the division ratios as well as voice recording with playback.
