Supports multiple techniques:
- Thermal desorption of adsorbent tubes used for air sampling
- Dynamic Headspace (DHS 3.5+) based on standard headspace vials
- DHS 3.5+ Large based on sample containers up to 1 L volume
- Thermal extraction of solid samples placed in fritted TD tubes
- Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) using the GERSTEL Twister®
- TF-SPME
The TD 3.5+ supports manual operation and it can be removed in seconds to enable direct liquid sample introduction into the GERSTEL Cooled Injection System (CIS), a PTV-type universal GC inlet.
When configured with the GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS robotic), up to 40 samples are stored per TD 3.5+ tray in individually sealed sample positions. The system can easily be scaled up by using up to three TD 3.5+ trays per tray holder. The number of tray holders depends on size and configuration of the MPS robotic.
