HiSorb sorptive extraction

Overview

HiSorb is an innovative labour-saving sampling system for the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) in liquids and solids by TD–GC–MS. HiSorb can be used for headspace as well as immersive sampling.

• Detection limits are lower than for SPME because of the larger capacity of sorptive phase
• Easier and quicker to use than solvent extraction
• Re-usable probes and tubes minimise the cost per sample
• Robust and easy to use with multiple phases available
• Simple and elegant design when working with opaque or dirty liquids

Extending the capability of thermal desorption (TD), HiSorb probes and accessories are ideal for trace-level component characterisation, aroma profiling, quality control and advanced research across a wide range of applications. HiSorb is suitable for existing thermal desorption users wishing to extend their capabilities to extraction from liquids, as well as users of headspace, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) or liquid extraction wanting to enhance the characterisation of their samples or obtain complementary information.

HiSorb is fully automated by the Centri sampling and preconcentration platform, allowing unattended sample preparation and maximising productivity.
