5400 Thermal Transfer System

An elegant solution for Thermal Desorption Tube screening and analysis by GCMS.

The analysis of adsorbent tubes can be a nightmare for analytical laboratories, especially when there is a requirement to get results on 100% of the tubes tested. Instrument problems, unexpected analyte loading outside of the GCMS calibrated range, and cross-contamination make the normal “one-shot” analysis very risky. Even attempting to recover a “split” fraction of the tube sample onto another tube is plagued with problems such as added background, poor leak-free validation, and incomplete recoveries from yet a second tube.

Perform Sample Screening, Multiple Analyses, and more. All automated with the 5400B.

The 5400B Thermal Transfer System simplifies the entire thermal desorption tube analysis process. The 5400B automates the precise transfer of tube samples into vacuum-tight Bottle-Vac™ samplers. During desorption, approximately 600cc of nitrogen is used to recover the tube sample much more completely than direct GC thermal desorbers – which attempt to desorb the sample using as little helium as possible. The 5400B performs an automated leak check before thermally desorbing the tube sample to ensure quantitative sample recovery.

A brief overview of how this works...

Once the sample is transferred into a Bottle-Vac™, as little as 0.1–1.0cc of the sample can be analyzed, or the entire volume using a 7200A or 7200A / 7650. Further dilutions are also easily accomplished.
