Using high-capacity PDMS sorbent, HiSorb™ probes allow you sorptively extract trace-level organic chemicals from liquids and solids with the minimum of hassle.
With options for immersive sampling of liquids or headspace sampling of solids, HiSorb probes overcome the limited sensitivity of SPME, while avoiding labour-intensive solvent-extraction approaches… making them ideal for aroma profiling, quality control and advanced research across a wide range of applications.
Who uses HiSorb?
- Existing thermal desorption users wishing to extend their capabilities to extraction from liquids.
- Users of headspace, solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) or liquid extraction wanting to enhance the characterisation of their samples or obtain complementary information
Why use HiSorb?
Time and cost savings
- Robust, easy-to-use probes allow unattended sample preparation and maximum productivity.
- HiSorb is easier and quicker to use than solvent extraction.
- Re-usable probes and tubes minimise the cost per sample.
- The cost of solvent consumption and disposal is eliminated.
Increased sensitivity
- Detection limits are lower than for SPME because of the larger capacity of the PDMS sorbent.
- Cryogen-free pre-concentration by TD prior to automated GC–MS analysis improves sensitivity.
Versatility
- HiSorb can be used for immersive or headspace sampling of liquids and solid samples.
- HiSorb is compatible with TD–GC–MS analysis using industry-standard tubes on all leading commercial systems.
