Markes is a European supplier of thermal desorption (TD) instruments for testing ambient air, indoor air, workplace air, and industrial emissions.
European EH&S laboratories, industrial EH&S departments and regulatory and research laboratories use thermal desorbers and applications to measure volatile and semi-volatile organic chemicals from air, gas, solids and liquids.
Thermal desorption offers a cost-saving and sensitive alternative to conventional sample preparation methods for the analysis of trace level volatile organic chemicals.
Samples are heated in a flow of inert gas to extract target compounds into the vapor stream via a process of dynamic gas extraction.
The technology combines sample extraction, with selective analyte concentration and rapid transfer of target compounds to the detector.
"We are pleased to be supplying Markes thermal desorption systems as they are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of key international and European standards for EH&S," said Monty Benefiel, Agilent's environmental products marketing manager.
"Adding Markes TD equipment to Agilent's product line broadens our strengths in air-testing technology to provide a complete one-vendor solution.".
