Abstract: An automated sampler-injector apparatus and method of sampling, for taking samples from multiple sources and repetitively injecting small portions of a quantity sampled from a single source into a liquid chromatograph column for analysis. The apparatus comprises a syringe and injector tube forming a syringe loop for drawing a quantity of sample from a sample container. A carousel for positioning a selected sample container beneath the syringe loop is provided, and an injector valve having a sample loop therein is further provided for receiving portions of a quantity of sample from the syringe loop and retaining such portion in the sample loop and further transferring the portion of sample from the sample loop into a liquid chromatograph for analysis.
