BEAT THE SYSTEM WITH A BETTER SYSTEM. The GC 111 Unisampler is a system for automatic GC injection of single samples. Far superior to the manual operator system of injection, the GC 111 Process Auto Injector Sampler can reduce analyses cost and provide much better reproducibility (typically 0.3%) with minimal carry-over. Vertical and horizontal injectors are available for most major chromatographs. Contact DPS, P.O. Box 15886, Baton Rouge, LA 70895. Phone (504) 927-1128. And beat the old system with a better system.
