Markes International and SepSolve Analytical at Pittcon 2025: Discover the latest in thermal desorption, sample concentration & GC–MS
This year, Pittcon will take place at the Boston (Massachusetts) Convention and Exhibition Center from 1 to 5 March.
We will be at booth 1726, showcasing our award-winning TD100-xr – an automated thermal desorption instrument capable of rapidly processing up to 100 sorbent tubes, unattended.
Analysts from our sister company, SepSolve Analytical, will also be present, exhibiting the newly upgraded SepSolve BenchTOF2 mass spectrometer.
Our analytical experts will be delivering a series of talks and presenting several posters throughout the conference. Markes’ presentations will focus on recent developments in (S)VOC analysis, highlighting application areas where thermal desorption is increasingly helping to overcome analytical challenges.
