The current issue (2008.1) of Restek's e-newsletter, "The Restek Buzz," includes an article that summarizes the key advantages of thermal desorption versus solvent extraction in air monitoring applications. Thermal desorption is a gas extraction technique in which sorbent tubes that have been exposed to air samples are heated in a flow of carrier gas. Trapped vapors are desorbed into the carrier gas flow and are transferred into a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system. According to the article, thermal desorption offers better sensitivity, desorption efficiency, and reproducibility compared with charcoal-carbon disulfide systems.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
