Markes’ ‘xr’ series of thermal desorbers pre-concentrate organic vapours sampled using sorbent tubes, canisters and on-line air streams, and as well as options for automation, incorporate powerful new advances that extend the capabilities of analytical laboratories analysing VOCs and SVOCs in air and materials.
A key advantage of the ‘xr’ series is the extended capability for automated sample splitting and re-collection – a technology pioneered by Markes that allows valuable samples to be re-analysed for method development and compliance with standard methods.
Other key advances are the ability to quantitatively recover compounds from C2 to C44 and a new water-management module for on-line monitoring of humid air streams.
