CDS Analytical, LLC. has been a leader in the design and manufacture of laboratory instruments for sample preparation and analysis for four decades. Best known in the field of analytical pyrolysis, CDS has supplied instrumentation for a wide range of additional analyses including catalyst screening, reaction optimization, organic headspace analysis, and environmental testing. Incorporated as Chemical Data Systems, Inc., CDS introduced its first product, the Pyroprobe®, in 1969. The Pyroprobe was used with pyrolysis-gas chromatography to analyze solids. In 1977, CDS produced the 310 Sample Concentrator, a manual purge and trap instrument for environmental analysis. Later we introduced the first microprocessor controlled purge and trap instrument, the CDS Model 320. By the mid-1990s CDS recognized the need for laboratory automation and developed the AS-2500 Pyrolysis Autosampler. At the start of the new Millennium, CDS Analytical, Inc. and Dynatherm Analytical Instruments Inc. combined forces, adding additional thermal sampling instrumentation to the CDS product line. Dynatherm instruments provide laboratory personnel with the means to collect trace organic chemicals from air, water, and soil samples, as well as diverse food products such as coffee, grains, juices, chocolate, flavorings, and their packaging materials. In years to come CDS Analytical will continue to support customers by developing the next wave of sample introduction instruments.
CDS has introduced the first and only high-pressure pyrolysis system. Scientists studying new material, such as various biomass feed stock, need to understand how these materials break down in a reactor at varying conditions. The high-pressure pyrolyzer allows them to study both high temperature & pressure on a small scale in the lab before undergoing the time and expense of scaling up to a pilot reactor. And in addition, the…
Increase the throughput of your pyrolysis laboratory by using the AS5250 Pyroprobe® Autosampler. The AS5250 provides hands-free analysis of up to 36 samples and enhances operational capacity allowing unattended operation over a weekend or holiday period. Solid, viscous liquid and powder samples are analyzed directly, eliminating the need to perform lengthy sample extractions or derivatizations. A patented heating method provid…
