- the sample 22 is a solid sample such as a resin, but is not limited thereto, and may be a liquid such as an adhesive.
- carrier gas is supplied via a pipe, and the carrier gas that has passed between the pair of silica wool 21 is sent to the flow path switching unit 105.
- This carrier gas may be an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or helium gas, or may be an active gas.
- the heating unit 102 is provided in the vicinity of the container holding unit 101, and vaporizes the sample 22 by heating the container 2 attached to the container holding unit 101 from the outside. Similar to the heating unit 102, the ultraviolet irradiation unit 103 is provided in the vicinity of the container holding unit 101, and emits ultraviolet rays toward the container 2 attached to the container holding unit 101, thereby transmitting the container 2 to the sample 22. Irradiate ultraviolet rays.
- the sample gas generated by vaporizing the sample 22 in the container 2 is sent to the flow path switching unit 105 together with the carrier gas supplied into the container 2.
- the trap unit 104 is constituted by a trap column, for example, and traps and concentrates the sample (sample gas) vaporized in the container 2. By heating the trap unit 104 in which the sample is concentrated, the sample in the trap unit 104 is volatilized and desorbed, and the sample is supplied to the gas chromatograph 1 by the carrier gas.

A sample supplied to the gas chromatograph 1 together with the carrier gas from the trap unit 104 is introduced into the column 12 from the sample introduction unit 11 and is separated for each sample component in the process of passing through the column 12. Each sample component thus separated is detected by a detector (not shown), and a chromatogram is obtained as an analysis result.

- the sample vaporized in the container 3 is supplied from the needle 201 to the gas chromatograph 1 side by the pressure in the container 3, and the sample loop 204 is filled.
- the sample overflowing from the sample loop 204 is exhausted from the port f of the flow path switching unit 209 to the exhaust port.
- the sample is stored in the sample loop 204 in such a state, the sample is introduced from the sample loop 204 to the gas chromatograph 1 by switching the flow path switching unit 209.
- FIG. 8 is a flow path diagram showing a state where the flow path switching unit 209 is switched from the state of FIG. In this state, the port b and the port c of the flow path switching unit 209 communicate with each other, and the port d and the port e communicate with each other. Accordingly, the carrier gas supplied to the port d of the flow path switching unit 209 flows into the sample loop 204 through the port e. Thereby, the sample in the sample loop 204 is supplied to the gas chromatograph 1 side through the port b and the port c of the flow path switching unit 209.
- the gas chromatograph sample introduction apparatus may be configured not to include the trap unit 205 as in the second embodiment.
- the trap unit 104 can be omitted in the first embodiment.

- An ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 is attached to the heating unit 202.
- a container holding unit 4 that holds the container 3 is provided in the heating unit 202.
- the container holding part 4 is made of, for example, a cylindrical member, and can be held in a state in which the container 3 is accommodated therein.
- the container holding part 4 is formed with a slit 41 penetrating the wall surface.
- the slit 41 is formed at a position facing the ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 in the container holding unit 4. Thereby, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 are guided to the container 3 through the slit 41.
- the container 3 can be stably held by the container holding part 4 and the region through which the ultraviolet rays in the container 3 pass is limited by the slit 41 formed in the container holding part 4. Can do. Therefore, since the sample in the container 3 can be efficiently irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the analysis can be performed better.
- the container holding part 4 covers the periphery of the septum 32. That is, the wall surface of the container holding unit 4 is located between the ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 and the septum 32. Of the wall surface of the container holding unit 4, a portion located between the ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 and the septum 32 constitutes a mask unit 42 that blocks ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation unit 203 toward the end of the container 3. Thereby, since the ultraviolet-ray is not irradiated to the edge part of the container 3, it can prevent that the septum 32 provided in the edge part of the container 3 degenerates.
- the configuration of the container holding unit 4 is not limited to the above configuration.
- the configuration such as the slit 41 and the mask portion 42 can be applied to the first embodiment.
- the seal member such as an O-ring provided in the container holding unit 101 from being deteriorated by blocking the ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation unit 103 toward the end of the container 2 by the mask unit. .
- the number of containers 2 and 3 is not limited to one, and a plurality of containers may be provided. Further, the configuration of the containers 2 and 3 is not limited to the configuration as in the above embodiment.
- the container to which the present invention is applied is not limited as long as it has a configuration in which a sample is enclosed, the internal sample can be heated from the outside, and the internal sample can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays from the outside. It can be formed of any shape or material.
- the configuration has been described in which the sample is vaporized by heating the sample while irradiating the sample with ultraviolet rays.
- the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
- the sample may be vaporized by heating the sample after irradiating the sample with ultraviolet rays and then stopping the ultraviolet irradiation.
