What is thermal desorption?

A guide to the history, principles and applications of thermal desorption for gas chromatography

Analytical thermal desorption (TD) is a sample preparation and introduction technique for gas chromatography (GC) that overcomes the drawbacks of conventional sample preparation techniques, such as solvent extraction, solid-phase micro-extraction, purge-and-trap, and static headspace.

What does thermal desorption offer the analytical chemist?

Greater sensitivity than conventional sample preparation techniques.
Applicability to a wider range of compound classes and sample types.
It is safer and more environmentally-friendly than solvent extraction.
It is more easily automated and validated.
TD is compliant with key standard methods.

Thermal desorption and its place in the laboratory

All this and key applications of TD are explained simply and clearly in a new e-book, What is thermal desorption? In just 24 pages, this easy-to-read guide explains how TD works, along with important aspects such as sorbent choice and sampling options.

So if you’re a GC user but haven’t considered the impact that thermal desorption could have in your lab, download the e-book to learn more about this powerful technique.
