TC-30 tube conditioner
Conditioning and dry-purging for multiple sorbent tubes
In TD–GC workflows, residual contaminants and carryover in sorbent tubes can introduce unwanted artefacts, mask low-level targets and reduce confidence in results reported. Even small amounts of contamination can lead to costly re-analysis, particularly in trace-level volatile organic compound (VOC) applications where sensitivity is critical. Clean sorbent tubes are essential to minimise background, maximise sensitivity and protect data quality.
The TC-30™ is an easy-to-use, off-line device for the automated and simultaneous conditioning and dry-purging of up to 30 thermal desorption tubes. The system uses a flow of clean, dry nitrogen rather than expensive helium carrier gas, significantly reducing operating costs. Its integrated touch-screen with in-built preset and fully-programmable methods improves workflow efficiency and accelerates routine tasks in busy laboratories.
Benefits of TC-30
- Enhance laboratory productivity by freeing up your analytical instrument to run samples, including overnight.
- Improve overall analytical performance by off-line dry-purging, removing excess water collected during sampling, prior to analysis.
- Lower operating costs by allowing dry nitrogen to replace more expensive
helium gas. - Reduced gas consumption with operation in batches of 15, as well as automated gas flow reduction during cooling.
- Operate from anywhere in the laboratory with any source of mains power and gas supply. Use the intuitive touch-screen controls, to enable processing of samples away from the analytical instrument.
The units bring consistency we can rely on. Tubes are conditioned in the same way, every time, helping teams trust their data, work efficiently, and focus on what really matters: delivering high-quality studies.
