Background

• Swagelok committed to analytical instrumentation
  for over 50 years
• Our response to NeSSi and subsequent work have
  helped define 1st generation miniature modular
  sample systems
• We are continually developing fit-for-purpose
  1st generation components
• We are ready to move on to defining and
  developing 2nd generation components

Evolution of Modular Sample Systems

• 1st Generation NeSSi miniature modular achieved
• ISA SP76 interface standard
• Commercially available control solutions
• Functional downmount components
• Systems successfully installed
• Benefits are being realized
• 2nd Generation NeSSi Smart is next
• Plug-n-play devices, integrated with S.A.M.
• Multi-drop sensor bus communications
• Self-diagnosing sample systems
• Configurable device personalities
• Multi-variable transducers
