P.7 Working Safely
DANGER
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified herein, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired!
The Lumin weighs 27 lbs (12.2 kg). If this weight exceeds your lifting ability, lift and position the
Lumin with two people. Lift and position the Lumin by the base only.
Route tubing drain lines to slope downward only. Do not extend tubing into the waste bottle
more than 3 to 5” (7.6 to 12.7 cm). Failure to follow these directions may result in improper
drainage of the Lumin.
Please be aware that if the Lumin, its components, and/or accessories are used in a manner not
specified by Teledyne Tekmar, protection by the equipment may be impaired.
Only use replacement parts supplied or approved by Teledyne Tekmar when performing
maintenance on the Lumin. Use of unapproved parts could result in damage to the instrument,
as well as personal injury.
Running an improper method may damage the Lumin. Setting up a new method should be
performed by personnel who are properly trained, knowledgeable, and well acquainted with
the Lumin.
Ensure that the installation location allows the concentrator to be easily turned off and the
power cord disconnected, in the event of an emergency.
The circuit used to power the Lumin should be protected by a Certified/Listed 15/20 Circuit
Breaker for short circuit protection.
Do not plug the Lumin into an extension cord. An extension cord may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not replace the Lumin mains supply AC power cable with a cable of any other type or rating.
Ensure the power cable is routed away from, and is not capable of contacting, any hot surface.
Only replace fuses with those of the same type and rating. Refer to Section 5.22 "Power Entry
Module (PEM) Fuse Replacement".
To avoid the risk of fire and maintain optimum instrument performance, install the
concentrator on a non-flammable surface and maintain a minimum 6” (15.24 cm) perimeter
around the unit that is unobstructed by flammable material or other equipment.
NEVER use hydrogen or other flammable gas with the Lumin. Venting of this gas creates an
explosion hazard. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe handling of gas and chemicals.
Also refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for information on specific chemicals.
To avoid injury to yourself or damage to the Lumin, do not exceed the recommended pressure
settings. Observe safety regulations when handling pressurized gas. For more information see
Matheson™ Gases Data Book (available from the Matheson Company, East Rutherford, New
Jersey)

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Lumin is a modern laboratory instrument designed to concentrate Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) from samples using the Purge and Trap (P&T) technique. The
Lumin uses advanced P&T technology that allows accelerated automatic processing of
liquid samples for analysis by Gas Chromatograph (GC). The Lumin purges VOCs from
liquids onto an analytical trap. The trap is then rapidly heated and the analytes are swept
with carrier gas onto the column for separation and detection.
1.1 Purge and Trap Background
1.1.1 Purge and Trap Fundamentals
When using a concentrator system, it is not essential to understand how it works.
However, a good grasp of the fundamentals helps you prevent problems and assists you
when you are faced with tasks such as method development and troubleshooting. This
section is not intended to be a full theoretical evaluation of P&T gas chromatography.
The primary purpose of this section is to help develop an understanding of how and why
compounds are concentrated. While gas chromatography is a very powerful analytical
tool, it does have several limitations. Many different techniques have gradually been
developed to overcome these limitations. These techniques are for a wide variety of
sample types. The limitations which P&T concentration is designed to overcome,
include:
1. Lack of sensitivity
GC detectors provide remarkable sensitivity. However, there are a number of areas
where greater sensitivity is necessary. These include:
Environmental Analysis - Many pollutants must be measured at low levels;
sometimes, in the sub-part per billion (ppb) range.
Flavor and Fragrance Analysis - The human nose is one of the most
sensitive detectors in existence. To provide an analytical system with
comparable sensitivity, some method of concentration is required.
2. Inability to tolerate water injections
Many GC columns and detectors do not perform well in the presence of water.
Water may drastically reduce the lifetime of the column and adversely affect the
detector performance.
3. The sample must be in vapor or vaporizable form
Gas chromatography operates as an interaction between vapor and liquid phases.
The sample must start out as a vapor. For this reason, there are many samples,
such as pollutants in soil or flavors in solid food, which cannot be directly
introduced into a GC.
The ability to analyze VOCs is a vital part of environmental monitoring, outgassing
studies, flavor or fragrance analysis, among others. P&T is a technique that
separates the VOCs from a matrix. After separation, the VOCs are then
concentrated and injected into the GC for separation and detection.

1.1.2 Brief History
In the 1960’s, P&T was used in the study of bodily fluids. In the mid-to-late 1970’s, P&T
became a technique that was well-known and widely applied due the need to monitor
VOCs in drinking water. Using this technique, it was possible to detect sub-ppm level
VOCs of a wide variety. Today, P&T is routinely applied in the environmental area for the
analysis of VOCs in soil and water. The arrival of microprocessor-driven systems allows
the concentrator to be more precise and automated, giving the operator more time for
other projects.
1.2 Purge and Trap Operation Overview
A measured amount of sample is placed in a sealed vessel. The sample is purged with
inert gas, causing VOCs to be swept out of the sample. The VOCs are retained in an
analytical trap, which allows the purge gas to pass through to vent. The VOCs are then
desorbed by heating the trap, injected into the GC by back-flushing the trap with carrier
gas, and separated and detected by normal GC operation.
While purging and sweeping the sample with an inert gas sounds simple, it is in reality a
very complex process. Purging a sample to extract analytes is a gas extraction. There are
many factors that affect the efficiency of this extraction. The amount of each compound
purged is proportional to both its vapor pressure and its solubility in the sample. Both of
these are, in turn, affected by the sample temperature. Consider the case of a sample
sealed in a closed vial. Above the sample is a vapor space, which is usually referred to as
the headspace. If you allow the sample sufficient time, VOCs in the sample will migrate
into the vapor space. After a certain period of time at a constant temperature, the
concentration of the volatile compounds in each phase will be stabilized, the chemical
system will have reached equilibrium (Figure 1-1).
