The internal gas cylinder will operate the GC 312 for 25-30 hours with capillary columns. The photoionization detector (PID) has been redesigned to reduce the dead volume to 50 μL and improve the sensitivity to by 5-10 fold. The detection limit for benzene has been reduced to < 500 ppt. We felt that additional sensitivity (low ppt) was needed in order
