In the modern analytical context, managing organic solvents represents a significant challenge, both due to the impact on operator health and environmental implications. Therefore, it is essential to adopt alternative methods that ensure high performance while reducing risks.
Thermal desorption (TD) proves to be a winning solution, offering tangible advantages in terms of laboratory safety and reduced costs per analysis.
Why Choose Thermal Desorption?
Traditional solvent extraction involves the use of potentially hazardous substances, resulting in high disposal costs and risks for operators. Thermal desorption, on the other hand, eliminates the use of solvents, optimizing the analytical process through:
- Increased sensitivity – Samples are concentrated and analyzed without losses, ensuring more accurate results
- Operational efficiency – Reduced sample preparation time and increased productivity
- Regulatory compliance – Alignment with standardized methods and international regulations
- Environmental sustainability – Elimination of organic solvents and reduction of chemical waste
- Health and safety – Reduced exposure to toxic substances for laboratory workers.
The Markes Solution: Flexibility and Reliability
Markes thermal desorbers represent industry excellence, thanks to advanced features such as Recollect™ mode, which allows reanalysis of the same sample multiple times. This feature is particularly useful when additional checks are needed, ensuring maximum reliability without compromising sample integrity.
Key Benefits of the TD-GC/MS System
Repeatable Analysis – Using Non-Destructive Desorption Technology
Reduced Operating Costs – No Solvent Purchase, Storage, or Disposal
High Performance – Ideal for Environmental, Food, and Pharmaceutical Applications.
Conclusions
Thermal desorption is positioned as the optimal choice for laboratories seeking precision, safety, and sustainability. With Markes systems, superior analytical results can be achieved while reducing the costs and risks associated with traditional methods.
