Thermal Desorption

The GERSTEL Thermal Desorption System provides unmatched performance for a wide range of applications.

Main Features and Advantages

• Platform Approach: provides more options for sample introduction and automation than any other system
• Rugged and Reliable: No valves or long transfer lines to foul up or replace
• No Carryover: Direct interface eliminates carry over issues found when using valves and transfer lines
• Easy method development: GERSTEL's CIS based trap does not require different trapping materials for different compound classes
• Compatibility with ISO, ASTM, and other standard methods used in material emissions and other industries
• Optional 21 CFR part 11 Compliance
