Industry News and Events
Markes International recently announced the latest technological improvements to its range of thermal desorption (TD) instruments, which further extend the application range and enhance productivity. The first improvement is to allow much higher-concentration samples to be analyzed in the same sequence as low-concentration samples. The new changes mean users can allow only a tiny fraction of the original sample into the analytical instrument. The second improvement has been to speed up cooling and reduce thermal desorption cycle times, with or without re-collection, thus boosting the number of analyses that can be undertaken in any given period. In addition, Markes announced improvements to its SafeLok TD sampling tubes, which can now be used at higher sampling flow rates and with standard pumps, making them suitable for all pumped air monitoring applications. Markes International manufactures specialist analytical instrumentation for trace organic analysis.
