Len:

Check out isogeochem wiki pages. Under repair tips there are two listed (bottom of the page). I have used the second one listed, “DIY GasBench Needles.pdf” posted by Stephen Romaniello. All parts are listed, which is handy. And it is a very sturdy setup. I’ve used glass capillary tubing I already had as the return (sampling) tubing on the needle so that I can still monitor for moisture in the line. I’ve been using on my GasBench. Works well.

Colleagues –

Does anyone have a great recipe and parts list for the construction of a double-walled side-port or bottom-port needle, the kind where the bottom/side port can be sealed by holding inside a 2-3 mm thick vial septa and the rest flushed with He gas?  E.g. for use on Gasbench, Trace Gas, Multiflow, etc.
