• Optical sensors monitor for arrival of solution front at both entrance and exit.
• Solution arrival at both locations provides confirmation that sample loop is fully loaded
• Air bubbles during the sample loop loading are detected

SampleSense Enviro: Optimized QC Workflow
• Intelligent Sample Loading Verification• SampleSense Enviro reports non‐sample events:
• Capped Sample Vials• Underfilled Sample Vials• Underfilled/Empty QC Standards
• Log of “Un‐Sensed” Samples is Generated

SampleSense Enviro: Low Sample Consumption
• Vacuum‐Control Valve:• Trapping valve minimizes sample consumption. • Automatically shutting off the vacuum to conserve valuable sample.
• SampleSense Enviro consumes < 2.5 mL of sample*.• The black line shows the original level of 6 mL sample • Post analysis, 3.5 mL of sample remains for a potential reanalysis.
* System using 1.5 mL loop size

Step 2:
When both sensors are triggered, vacuum valve closes and then sample valve switches to inject.

Experimental: Instrument Setup & Method conditions
Method settings use standard analytical conditions(Analytes, replicates, sample flow, etc.)
Method uses 3 replicates Uses < 2.5 mL sample/injection Probe washout and loop rinse are part of FAST method
