Using the TT24-7 with Twin Electrically-Cooled Focusing Traps for Continuous Monitoring of Trace Level Toxic Chemicals (e.g. Chemical Warfare Agents) in Air

27 May 2014

This application note describes an evaluation of TT24-7 performance for trace level agents, such as HD and free (underivitised) VX. Both off-line and near real-time operation is discussed. Linear FPD calibration curves ranging from 15 ng to 10 pg for VX and from 2 ng to 0.2 ng for HD are presented.

TT24-7

Markes International Ltd

The TT24-7 continuous air/gas monitoring system incorporates two electrically-cooled traps which operate in tandem to ensure 100% data capture.   The TT24-7 thermal desorption system is a robust, transportable thermal desorption unit, convenient for installation onsite or in mobile response vehicles as well as conventional laboratories. The TT24-7 interfaces to GC(MS) or process MS technology and incorporates two electrically-cooled traps which operate in tandem to ensure 100% sampling efficiency (no dead times).

Gas Generators and AnalyzersGas generators are used for supplying or monitoring a regular flow of a high purity gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen or zero air for applications such as gas chromatography. Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters. Find the best gas generators and analyzers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
