New Thermal Desorption/Extraction Autosampler

CDS Analytical (USA) has introduced the TDA-9300 Thermal Desorption/Extraction Autosampler which is capable of running straight sorbent tubes or doing dynamic headspace. Temperatures are programmable to 375ºC. This unit is perfect for desorbing sorbent tubes for hydrocarbons in air, or doing emissions studies on solids or viscous liquids. This unique autosampler is able to handle tubes from 3” to 7 1/2” long and with ODs of 3mm to 16mm. High temperature capabilities allow thermal desorption/extraction of high boiling compounds like PAHs and PCBs.

Additional features include the ability to add dynamic headspace stations, a sample saver and peltier cooling capabilities. The sample saver allows the split and recollection of samples for additional analysis or archiving. The newly introduced optional headspace station allows for dynamic headspace analysis in a 10 ml culture tube on the same unit that is running thermal desorption tubes. The unit features computer control, automatic leak checking, rapid heat rates, and interchangeable stations providing the most flexibility on the market.
