Markes International has launched its thermal desorption (TD) instrument for gas chromatography (GC).
The TD-100 incorporates sample re-collection for repeat analysis and electrical cooling to lower running costs, and is compatible with all TD-compatible compound types.
A low-cost, fully automated instrument, the TD-100 couples to any make of GC or GC/MS and complies with standard methods.
It is a high-capacity instrument capable of the sequential analysis of up to 100 sorbent tubes, which is suitable for high-throughput laboratories and offers reliable, unattended operation for extended periods of time.
The TD-100 includes RFID sample sorbent tube tracking technology (TubeTAG) as standard.
The TD-100 has been designed for the sampling and analysis of toxic and odorous chemicals (VOC and SVOC) in air/gas and materials.
Relevant application areas include: materials emissions testing, environmental/indoor air monitoring, workplace air monitoring, food, flavour and fragrance profiling, civil defence and forensics.
