TRACE's GLSPlus (Gas & Liquefied Gas Sampling module) system is an innovative sampler designed to simplify sample introduction from pressurized cylinders and sampling cylinders.
GLSPlus offers an extended pressure range, superior material protection and significantly improved performance.
Key Features
- System protection and advanced filtration: GLSPlus integrates in-line filters on both channels (gas and LPG). The new design includes an additional gas filter and low-porosity filter media for optimal particle retention. The filter compartment, located behind the front cover, ensures quick and easy maintenance.
- Optional third channel for non-pressurized gases: the system can be configured with a third channel dedicated to sampling from bags (e.g., Tedlar™). This option offers maximum flexibility, allowing for the management of both pressurized and non-pressurized samples.
- Ease of use: communication between the PC and GLSPlus is via USB. In just a few minutes, the sample is dosed, measured and the final result is calculated and archived. All methods are customizable, while critical parameters, such as temperature, flow and pressure, are automatically monitored and controlled by the system.
- Safety and robustness: given the flammability of many gases, GLSPlus integrates a leak sensor that constantly monitors the internal atmosphere. If hydrocarbons are detected, the system immediately stops all activity, blocks gas flow and activates safety alarms.
Exclusive Innovations
- Safety Lock: for uncompromising safety, GLSPlus features an automatic safety mechanism that detects residual pressure between the cylinder and the sampler. The lock prevents removal of the cylinder until the pressure is fully vented, ensuring safe operation even at pressures up to 100 bar.
- Automatic Single Standard Calibration (CRM): uniquely, GLSPlus can generate a complete calibration curve using a single Certified Reference Material (CRM). Leveraging internal sampling loops, TraceLINK software can manage up to 100 repeat injections to create accurate calibration curves, dramatically reducing operator workload and the consumption of expensive standards.
