– Clean Pilot Function – Conventionally With the split/splitless sample injection method, the carrier gas saving function can reduce the amount of carrier gas
released beyond the system from the split ow lines after transfer of the samples to the column during analysis.

units outside of analysis times. The gas can be saved when used in combination with the carrier gas saver function, or even
