How to collect a sample using the Micro-Chamber Thermal Extractor

The Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor™ (µ-CTE™) is a versatile and compact unit with four small cylindrical chambers that enables the sampling of chemicals released from products or materials.

Released volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) are collected onto sorbent tubes for analysis by TD–GC–MS.

The Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor is perfect for anyone needing to sample VOCs or SVOCs emitted from products and materials.

Applications range widely, from emissions screening of construction materials, consumer products and car trim to profiling the aroma of fragrance or foods and consumer products.
