10 questions asked about thermal desorption

Download this infographic to find the answer to the most frequently asked questions concerning thermal desorption

1. I’m not working with air samples, so why would I need thermal desorption?
2. Don’t I need liquid cryogen to achieve a wide target analyte range?
3. Can I analyse target and non-target compounds?
4. Can I analyse reactive species using thermal desorption?
5. Is TD suitable for semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)?
6. I have volatile analytes and very humid samples. Can I still use TD tubes?
7. Is thermal desorption a ‘one-shot’ technique?
8. I don’t archive my samples, so why would I need re-collection?
9. How should gas standards be introduced for calibration and QA using tubes?
10. How do I validate correct calibration?
