Abstract: The present invention is an improved automated flow through electrode liquid monitoring system. The automated system has a sample inlet to a sample pump, a sample outlet from the sample pump to at least one flow through electrode with a waste port. At least one computer controls the sample pump and records data from the at least one flow through electrode for a liquid sample. The improvement relies upon (a) at least one source of a calibration sample connected to (b) an injection valve connected to said sample outlet and connected to said source, said injection valve further connected to said at least one flow through electrode, wherein said injection valve is controlled by said computer to select between said liquid sample or said calibration sample. Advantages include improved accuracy because of more frequent calibrations, no additional labor for calibration, no need to remove the flow through electrode(s), and minimal interruption of sampling.

Abstract: A compact, portable, thermoelectric cold trap for capturing certain gaseous species for analysis in gas chromatographs is disclosed. The U-shaped heat exchanger and T-shaped cold block for holding the adsorbent tube and heater allow the unit to operate over a temperature range from -45.degree. to 300.degree. C. The thermoelectric cold trap is portable and may be retrofitted to new or existing gas chromatographs. The adsorbent tube and heater are also replaceable. A method of assembling the thermoelectric cold trap and a method of operating the thermoelectric cold trap are also disclosed.
