that site’s gradient valve assembly to a corresponding inlet on the site selection assembly located near the TGA100. The
site selection assembly consists of four nonlatching three-way valves, one for each site. The outlets of the four valves
are connected to a manifold that is connected to the TGA100 sample inlet. The TGA100 controls the site selection

switching to the next site.
