Markes introduces innovative labour-saving HiSorb system for VOC/SVOC analysis
HiSorb™ is an innovative, labour-saving sampling system for the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) in liquids and solids by TD–GC–MS.
Extending the capability of thermal desorption (TD), HiSorb probes and accessories are ideal for trace-level component characterisation, aroma profiling, quality control and advanced research across a wide range of applications.
Who uses HiSorb?
- Existing thermal desorption users wishing to extend their capabilities to extraction from liquids.
- Users of headspace, solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) or liquid extraction wanting to enhance the characterisation of their samples or obtain complementary information?.
Why use HiSorb?
Time and cost savings
- Robust, easy-to-use probes allow unattended sample preparation and maximum productivity.
- HiSorb is easier and quicker to use than solvent extraction.
- Re-usable probes and tubes minimise the cost per sample.
- The cost of solvent consumption and disposal is eliminated.
Increased sensitivity
- Detection limits are lower than for SPME because of the larger capacity of the PDMS sorbent.
- Cryogen-free pre-concentration by TD prior to automated GC–MS analysis improves sensitivity.
Versatility
- HiSorb probe in headspace vial
- HiSorb can be used for immersive or headspace sampling of liquids and solid samples.
- HiSorb is compatible with TD–GC–MS analysis using industry-standard tubes on all leading commercial systems.
