Routine analysis of samples with high content of non-volatile compounds, particulates and other solid matrix material from samples can contaminate a GC liner, leading to peak broadening and loss of compounds. This can happen within a few GC runs and is due to compound adsorption in the liner, therefore column backflush does not resolve these issues. Under such conditions, the analyst is forced to perform frequent liner replacement, an operation which normally requires manual intervention. This makes running a large series of samples a serious challenge.

GERSTEL's Automated Liner EXchance (ALEX) technology performs automated CIS 4 and CIS 6 liner exchange at user defined intervals. When used with the GERSTEL MPS 2, the ALEX system enables automated CIS liner exchange at predetermined regular intervals in a sequence. Specially designed trays can hold 14 or up to 98 CIS liners in individually sealed, contamination-free storage compartments.

GERSTEL Maestro software provides integrated control of the MPS 2, ALEX system and CIS. In combination with the Agilent Technologies ChemStation, a single method and sequence list control the entire system including GC and MSD.
