ADMIN NOTE: Hi All, a new topic for the discussion of the science from the SAM and Chemin instruments.
There has been a very important amendment to Rule 1.3 which is explained here. Please remember Rule 1.3 at all times when discussing matters in this section. |

There is also a noble gas trap. But my knowledge is too limited to decide, whether they can/should be used (by skipping the scrubber) to trap HCl gas or liquid hydrochloric acid. Traps can be heated to release the contents. It's at least an interesting idea.
Emily's post will be a good introduction to SAM. |

The fragile 1/16th tubing and the valves are not made to withstand HCl for several years at elevated temperatures needed for the gas flow. I hope they do not get any corrosion.
