“…The sampler channel is opened for a few minutes and the liquid phase, after fl owing through a dense fi lter, is injected into the empty sampler. Stainless steel mesh or frit (Schroeder et al, 1935;Stephan and Miller, 1962;Ulmer, 1971;Susarla et al, 1987), sintered Tefl on (Dickson et al, 1963), porous ceramics (Voigt et al, 1985) or a fi ne silver wire (Bernshtain andMatsenok, 1961, 1965;Itkina, 1973;Ravich, 1974;Valyashko, 1990) pressed into the sampler channel have all been used as fi ltering materials. Extension tubes (9) in Figure 1.4(a) are clamped to the sampler to allow sampling of solutions from a certain level of liquid, and are important for studying compositions of immiscible liquids.…”
