What is Ne. SSI™? Industry-driven effort to define and promote a new standardized alternative to sample conditioning systems for analyzers and sensors n n n Standard fluidic interface for modular surface-mount components Standard wiring and communications interfaces Standard platform for micro analytics
Ne. SSI™ - objectives Facilitate the acceptance / implementation of modular, miniature & smart sample system technology based on ANSI/ISA SP 76 standard Provide a technology bridge to the process for. . . “sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices Promote the concept of field-mounted (By-Line) smart analytical systems Lay the groundwork for Pipe to Pixel™ open connectivity architecture for intrinsically safe transducer communications and industry standard communication protocols
What does Ne. SSI™ Provide Simple “Lego-like” assembly n n Easy to re-configure No special tools or skills required Standardized flow components n n “Mix-and-match” compatibility between vendors Growing list of components Standardized electrical and communication (Gen II) n n “Plug-and-play” integration of multiple devices Simplified interface for programmatic I/O and control Advanced analytics (Gen III) n n Micro-analyzers Integrated analysis or “smart” systems
Benefits of Being Ne. SSI™ Your condition space is constrained n Volumes, flow rates, pressures, and viscosities inherently bounded by architecture Your interfaces are defined n n Electrical power, communication, and sample are all available in a standard way Power budget could be main driver to miniaturize Your sample conditioning can be defined and controlled n Specify up-stream and down-stream Ne. SSI components (and verify) All this means your analytical can be more directed and focused
Where Does Ne. SSI™ Fit in the Lab Instrument/Sensor Interfaces n Design standards make development simpler Reduced toolset to be mastered Reduced sample variability to account for n Calibration/validation built-in Consistent physical environment for measurement Stream switching and/or mixing allow generation of standards to match analytical requirements Reaction monitoring n n Microreactors and continuous flow reactors Batch reactors (with fast loop) Sample Preparation n n Gas handling (mixing, generation, delivery) Liquid handling (mixing, dilution, conditioning, etc. )

ABB Natural Gas Chromatograph Dimensions: 6. 75“ dia. × 16'' long × 9. 00'' tall Weight: Approximately 28 lb. (12. 7 Kg) Analysis section contains stream selection solenoids, pressure regulation, 32 bit digital detector electronics and a dual-train chromatograph in a single, replaceable module (coffee-cup sized)
Siemens micro. SAM GC Valveless live injection with software-adjustable injection volume Maintenance-free column switching and electronic pressure control Accurate measuring results by multiple parallel microdetectors Can be mounted directly at the sample extraction point because only a single auxiliary gas and very little electrical power is required Simple remote control with Windows-based software and Ethernet communication
Agilent 3000 Micro GC Custom configurations with 1 to 4 replaceable chromatographic channels. Choose from various micromachined injectors, columns, sample conditioners, and application-specific reports. The modular GC design maximizes uptime, with repair as simple as exchanging one module for another. Increase sensitivity, maintain high precision, remove unwanted contaminants from your sample, or speed up analysis with variable, fixed or backflush injection options. Digital pneumatics control carrier gas flow electronically, enhancing reliability and precision while further simplifying operation. Dimensions: 5. 9” x 9. 8” x 16. 1” Wt: 18 – 37 lbs (portable)
