New products for sample preparation at Pittcon 2020
Markes International will be launching the newest version of its successful Centri® multi-mode sample automation and concentration platform for GC–MS at Pittcon 2020, which will be held at McCormick Place, Chicago, from 1–5 March.
It will also be launching two new thermal desorption instruments specifically for the chemical warfare agent market – TD100-xr DAAMS, an automated thermal desorption unit accommodating DAAMS (Depot Area Air Monitoring System) tubes, and a thermal desorption autosampler for DAAMS tubes, which adds to the company’s popular UNITY-xr thermal desorption instrument. Markes will also be exhibiting the newest additions to its supplies range of products.
Discover more – deliver more on booth #4743
This year, Markes will be sharing its booth space (#4743) with its sister company, SepSolve Analytical, that specialises in providing sample preparation, GC×GC, TOF MS and software packages for a variety of applications. Both companies are members of the Schauenburg Analytics Ltd group of companies.
