Overcoming the ‘One-Shot’ Limitation of Thermal Desorption by the Re-Collection of Desorbed Samples

21 Jul 2014

This application note demonstrates how sample splitting and re-collection (SecureTD™ technology) can overcome the ‘one-shot’ limitation of thermal desorption, providing a powerful tool for method development and validation.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that have a low boiling point. Some VOCs are harmful to human health, whereas others can be used to determine the shelf-life of foods samples. Semi Volatile Organic CompoundsSemi volatiles organic compounds (SVOCs) are a groups of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate above room temperature. SVOCs include phenols and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).VolatilesVolatiles are a group of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate at room temperature. Volatiles, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be used to determine shelf-life of food samples. GC-MS is typically used to analyze volatiles.
