Abstract:
An apparatus module for volatile collection, such as may be utilized in solution photolysis of a test sample, includes a vessel member that is sealingly connected to a vapor collection adapter. The vapor collection adapter includes an inlet for the delivery of gas into the vessel and an outlet for directing gas and volatiles emitted by the test sample from the vessel. The vessel member is elongated and mounted in a generally upright position by means of a peg that extends from a closed end of the vessel. This peg is received within an aperture in an underlying support rail. The apparatus is also specially adapted for mounting in series. More specifically, the support rail includes a series of equally spaced apertures for holding a number of modules at evenly spaced intervals. In addition, cooperating ball and socket connectors are provided at the distal ends of the inlet and outlet so as to allow sealed connection of adjacent modules together.
