Next-generation tube conditioning: Why reliable results start with clean tubes
2 April, 2026
In thermal desorption workflows, a clean background is critical for protecting sample integrity. Even minor contamination can lead to costly and time-consuming rework, particularly in trace-level applications.
In this session, we will share details of a next-generation development designed to improve data confidence and enhance productivity in TD-GC laboratories.
Join us for an exclusive first glimpse at the innovation shaping the future of high-throughput tube conditioning. We will explore the principles of effective conditioning and reveal how upcoming automated, off-line capabilities can free up your analytical instruments and reduce your reliance on expensive helium.
What you will learn
- Understand why rigorous tube conditioning is essential for confident trace-level detection
- Explore how off-line conditioning maximises laboratory productivity, conditioning up to 270 tubes per day while allowing your TD instrument to continue analysing samples
- Discover how to lower operating costs and simplify workflows with nitrogen-based batch conditioning using programmable methods
