Introduction

1.1 The HAPSITE ER System

The HAPSITE® ER Portable Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) is designed to measure volatile organic hazardous air pollutants at parts-per-trillion (PPT) levels, using pre-programmed sets of instructions known as "methods". The HAPSITE ER is specifically designed for portability and field operation. The HAPSITE ER can collect and analyze samples while operating on battery power using self-contained carrier gas and internal standard gas supplies. The results are displayed and saved on a hard drive. They can also be downloaded to a USB drive or through a data connection to a Laptop for analysis.

NOTE: This manual is specifically for the HAPSITE ER. The terms "HAPSITE" and

1.4 Theory of Operation

The HAPSITE combines two analytical techniques, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, to separate, identify, and measure the organic components in a gas phase sample. Using a flow of inert Nitrogen carrier gas, the gas chromatograph (GC) performs a time separation (Retention Time) of the sample compounds. The separation order is primarily based on increasing compound boiling point. The Mass Spectrometer (MS) detects and identifies the eluting compounds by breaking the molecules apart and detecting the fragments. The resulting mass spectrum is compared to a library of mass spectra to identify the compound.

The gas chromatography technique cannot always separate compound mixtures into individually eluting compounds. Some of the eluting responses or peaks may contain two, three, or more compounds which have taken the same time to progress (elute) through the gas chromatograph. GC identification of compounds is limited to matching the retention time of the unknown compound to that of a known standard. See section 1.6.1, Gas Chromatograph, on page 1-4 for more information on how the GC works. In order to further identify and measure the individual components of such mixtures, the gas stream is directed into the Mass Spectrometer.

HAPSITE ER Operating Manual

In the Mass Spectrometer, the gas stream of eluting compounds is bombarded with electrons. The electrons fracture the molecules into a characteristic combination of smaller molecules or mass fragments. The Mass Spectrometer measures and plots the response of these mass fragments to display a mass spectrum. See section

1.6.2, Mass Spectrometer, on page 1-6 for more information on how the MS works.

The introduction of a mixture of many compounds directly to the MS would produce a very complex and uncharacteristic mass spectrum. However, because the GC has largely separated the gases, the MS can usually differentiate between the few co-eluting compounds. This differentiation provides very precise identification and measurement of the quantity of each compound. Qualitative identification can be made by comparing the unknown compound spectrum to the NIST mass spectral library (included with the ER IQ software). See section 9.8, NIST Library Searches,

IPN 074-471-P1B

on page 9-23 for more information. Quantitative identifications can be made by

analyzing standards of known concentration and creating a target compound library of concentration response curves. See Chapter 12, Target Compound

Methods for more information.

In summary, the GC first separates the gaseous compounds by time. Then the MS identifies and measures the gases contained in each of the time-separated peaks. This enables the GC/MS system to report the specific identity and concentration of each of the compounds present in the initial pulse of gas analyzed.

1.5 Instrument Overview

The HAPSITE system is comprised of two modules:

 the HAPSITE, also known as the Analytical Module,

 the Service Module.

The HAPSITE is comprised of many systems and subsystems. Figure 1-1 shows a diagram of the major subsystems. These subsystems include the several pumps used to provide flow and vacuum.

The Service Module components are identified in Figure 1-1, everything else is housed in the HAPSITE. The Service Module and the HAPSITE module contain a Vacuum Interconnect Valve and electrical connectors through which their vacuum systems join. The modules communicate when the two modules are coupled together.

Figure 1-1 Major HAPSITE Subsystems

1.6 Description Of Subsystems

The HAPSITE is comprised of the following subsystems:

 Gas Chromatograph, see section 1.6.1.

 Mass Spectrometer, see section 1.6.2 on page 1-6.

 Vacuum System, see section 1.6.3 on page 1-8.

 Electronic Systems, see section 1.6.4 on page 1-9.

 Software Systems, see section 1.6.5 on page 1-10.

1.6.1 Gas Chromatograph

The HAPSITE’s GC system utilizes nitrogen as the carrier gas to transport analytes through a column, a narrow-bore fused silica tube 15 meters in length, and then on to the detector. The nitrogen is referred to as the mobile phase.

IPN 074-471-P1B

HAPSITE ER Operating Manual

The inside of the column is coated with a thin layer of a material known as the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a chemical which can selectively attract components in a sample mixture. The mixture of sample compounds in the mobile phase interact with the chemicals of the stationary phase. The chemicals which have the fastest interactions will elute (exit) off the column first. The HAPSITE also utilizes a temperature programmable GC. The oven is programmed to increase the temperature gradually (called ramping) to improve compound separation while decreasing analysis time. As the temperature increases, the compounds with the lowest boiling points will elute first with the standard non-polar phase coated column installed. More selective columns may be ordered for specific applications.

The time taken by an individual compound to travel from injection into the system until the compound elutes from the column is referred to as the retention time (RT). If the GC conditions remain constant, the same compound will elute from the column at nearly the same retention time for each injection.

An important part of the operation of the HAPSITE is the use of Internal Standards. They verify the performance of the gas chromatograph, as well as, the tuning and sensitivity of the mass spectrometer. The internal standards are two volatile organic gases at low concentrations which are added to the sample inlet flow. The internal standards’ retention times and responses are used as references for instrument performance.

Figure 1-2 is a graph of eluting organic gases from the gas chromatograph that is

plotted as a function of time from the injection of a pulse of mixed compounds. The graph demonstrates the separation of the various compounds from each other by the action of the gas chromatograph, as described above. This plot is called a Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC).

The performance of the column is affected by temperature, therefore, the column is housed in a temperature controlled oven.

The gas chromatograph performs many operational functions, including injecting the sample, analyzing the sample, flushing the system, and tuning the system.

GC/MS measurement begins with the Sample Pump drawing the gas to be analyzed into the Sample Loop. It then uses the pressure of the carrier gas to flush the sample from the Sample Loop on to the analytical column. This step is termed injection.

1.6.1.1 Membrane Isolation Valve

Gas exiting the analytical column crosses the face of a membrane mounted in the membrane isolation valve. This membrane has the special characteristic of transmitting the flow of organic compounds to the mass spectrometer, while effectively blocking the flow of inorganic gases (such as the nitrogen carrier gas). When the membrane isolation valve is opened, the appropriate gases are permitted to enter the Mass Spectrometer for analysis while the Mass Spectrometer remains under vacuum. The membrane’s performance is affected by temperature fluctuations and requires housing in a temperature-controlled zone.

In the Survey mode of operation, in which air samples are passed directly to the mass spectrometer, the sample pump draws the air sample directly across the membrane with the isolation valve in the open position.

1.6.2 Mass Spectrometer

The Mass Spectrometer is comprised of three basic physical systems: the ionizer, the mass selector, and the ion detector. These are mounted together in a vacuum manifold which also includes an inlet, two vacuum pumps, and a portion of the vacuum interconnect valve, as shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-4. Figure 1-3 is a representation of the three sub-systems of the mass spectrometer.

The inlet flow from the membrane isolation valve is brought directly to the ionizer. Within the ionizer, the component introduced from the inlet flow is subjected to a bombardment of electrons which are boiled off the hot filament. Collisions with the energetic electrons remove one electron from some of the gas molecules, leaving them with a net positive charge. This process is termed ionization. Other gas

HAPSITE ER Operating Manual

molecules are fractured into smaller molecules, some of which are also ionized. The remaining stream of gas continues out the far side of the ion volume and is pumped away by the vacuum pump system.

The ionized molecules, or ions, are driven from the ionizer toward the mass selector by the different voltages on the ion volume and the focusing plates. As the ions move through the holes in these plates, the ions are formed into a nearly parallel beam of mixed ions of nearly the same energy.

The mass selector (or mass filter) is a quadrupole analyzer. The quadrupole analyzer is comprised of four parallel rods, mounted with precise alignment and spacing. Opposite rods are electrically connected together. The two pairs of rods are connected to a radio frequency (RF) voltage 180

out of phase with each other. In addition, the two pairs of rods have a direct current (DC) voltage applied to them; positive on one pair, negative on the other.

The ion beam is directed down the center of the array of rods. At any specific combination of RF and DC fields, some ions are light enough to oscillate harmonically with the RF field. This oscillation causes them to pick up energy and increase speed until the ions impact one of the rods and are neutralized. The DC field acts upon the heavier ions resulting in their movement from the center towards the rods. Once on the rod, the heavier ion is neutralized. At a specific combination of RF and DC fields, ions of a specific mass will be able to transit the rod structure and emerge at the exit end to be detected.

When the ions emerge from the mass selector, the ions are directed to the detector. The active element of the detector is an electron multiplier. The electron multiplier responds to the arrival of each individual ion with a cascade of electrons, each of which generates more electrons. The result is a small burst of electrical current in response to each ion emerging from the mass selector. The signal from the electron multiplier is connected to the electronic amplifier and data-handling system outside the vacuum.

In order to determine the constituents of the gas mixture, the ratio of RF to DC field strengths is varied (swept) to permit progressively heavier ions to transit the mass

IPN 074-471-P1B

selector. The sweep, or scan, over the full range of masses (from 1 to 300 AMU) only takes about 100 milliseconds; the sweep is usually repeated many times to statistically improve the quality of the data. This produces the mass spectrum, a plot of the partial pressure (or population or intensity or amplitude) of each mass.

The mass spectrum is compared with a library of mass spectra characteristic of many individual compounds, and the HAPSITE reports the compounds which match the observed spectrum.

Alternatively, the mass spectrometer can remain tuned to a specific mass or set of masses. The instrument measures the partial pressure of only those masses as a function of time. Operation in this mode, termed selected ion monitoring (SIM), permits very sensitive measurement of the presence of one or a few compounds which have already been identified.

1.6.3 Vacuum System

The mass spectrometer is operated in a vacuum for several reasons.

 The ions must travel nearly a foot from the ionizer through the quadrupole to

the electron multiplier without colliding with another molecule. (A collision would modify their trajectory, and possibly their charge.)

 The gas to be analyzed must be free from interference from other unknown

gases.

 The hot filament which generates the electrons would be destroyed if operated

at atmospheric pressure in the presence of oxygen.

The vacuum is initially provided by the turbo-molecular and diaphragm pumps in the Service Module. When a good vacuum level is achieved and the pumps in the HAPSITE are turned on, the vacuum interconnect valve is closed. At this point, the Service Module can be disconnected. The Service Module is not needed again until the NEG pump in the HAPSITE must be changed.

The two vacuum pumps of the HAPSITE continue to provide the pumping necessary for operation. These two pumps are the non-evaporate getter (NEG) pump and the smaller sputter-ion pump. The NEG pump incorporates a special zirconium alloy, arranged in sintered disks, which when heated adsorb gas molecules very aggressively.

Over time, the sintered disks gradually become fully saturated with gas molecules and the pumping speed drops. The instrument detects the resultant rise in operating pressure (loss of vacuum) and the software signals that the pump must be replaced.

The NEG pump is very effective in removing the active gases, but the NEG pump does not remove noble gases. The sputter-ion pump is provided to remove argon, neon, helium, krypton, and xenon which would otherwise accumulate in the mass spectrometer. The accumulation would raise the mass spectrometer pressure and interfere with operation.

The turbo molecular pump in the Service Module is actually a compound pump, incorporating turbo molecular stages for high pumping speeds at low pressure, and molecular drag stages to provide good compression of the gas at higher pressures. Even with the drag stages, this pump is unable to compress the gas enough to exhaust the gas into atmospheric pressure. An additional diaphragm roughing pump is provided.

The diaphragm pump consists of four stages, in series. The diaphragm pump draws the gas from the exhaust of the compound pump and compresses the exhaust gas sufficiently to discharge the exhaust into the atmosphere.

HAPSITE ER Operating Manual

1.6.5 Software Systems

The HAPSITE operates with two separate software systems. The instrument itself incorporates control and analysis software. This control software accepts inputs from the touchscreen, keypad, and other interfaces, and commands the operation and sequencing of all the systems and subsystems. The analysis software analyzes the data from the mass spectrometer, accesses the libraries as required, and displays the results of the analyses on the front panel. The control software allows a method to be started with minor modifications from the front panel. Design or substantive modifications of the method require the use of the HAPSITE Application software on an external PC.

The HAPSITE Application software, ER IQ®, is a Windows® XP and Windows 2000 based system for use in the accessory personal computer. The ER IQ software is used to design and modify the methods under which the HAPSITE can operate, view the data, analyze the results, and generate and print reports. The PC is linked to the HAPSITE by a crossover cable or through a wireless connection, which permits uploading of data from the HAPSITE and downloading new or modified methods to the HAPSITE.

2.8.2 Attaching a Bag Sample

When samples are collected to be run later, various sampling bags can be used. This procedure outlines the steps used to attach a Tedlar® Bag.

Be sure the bag’s valve remains closed when it is not attached to the probe.

To avoid inhalation of bag’s sample, attach an exhaust tube to the HAPSITE’s exhaust port. Vent the exhaust to a safe area.

1 Before attaching a Tedlar Bag to the Probe, refer to section 2.8.1, Probe Nut

Assembly, on page 2-33 to ensure proper ferrule orientation in the probe nut.

2 Prepare the Tedlar Bag sample. Avoid filling bag more than 80% full. Be sure

the white valve is closed on the Tedlar bag.

3 Loosen the nut on the probe by turning the nut counter-clockwise up to two

complete revolutions.

4 Guide the white cylindrical stem of the bag valve assembly into the opening of

the probe nut. Firmly push the stem into the probe nut. Two cylinder "clicks" are usually felt before the bag is properly seated into the probe nut.

2.8.3 VX / R-33 Conversion Tube

WARNING

This procedure describes the steps required to prepare the HAPSITE to sample for VX or R-33 using the Conversion Tube. To detect VX or R-33, you must insert the Conversion tube following the guidelines below.

The process of detecting VX or R-33 on the HAPSITE requires the conversion of VX or R-33 (high boiling point chemicals) to the G analog. The VX or R-33 molecule is broken at the sulfur bond when it comes in contact with a silver fluoride pad. The result is the formation of a volatile chemical ethyl methylphosphonofluoridate in the case of VX, or isobutyl methylphosphonofluoridate in the case of R-33. These compounds are detected by the HAPSITE as VX-G or R-33-G.

NOTE: Theoretically, other G agents can be detected with the VX conversion pad

in place. However, if other G agents are suspected, the sample should be also be run without the conversion tube in place.

Sulfur mustard cannot be detected with the conversion tube in place.

HAPSITE ER Operating Manual

2.8.3.1 VX/R-33 Conversion Tube Installation

1 Refer to section 2.8.1, Probe Nut Assembly, on page 2-33 to ensure proper
