Thermal desorption is a technique that simplifies and speeds a wide range of gas chromatography (GC) applications, including indoor and outdoor air monitoring, analysis of outgassing from semiconductor materials, polymers, upholstery and furnishings, packaging, pharmaceuticals, and analysis of flavors and fragrances. As the undisputed market leader in GC sample handling, we took the next step to offer you even more benefits for your lab. PerkinElmer offers a family of five different TurboMatrix™ Thermal Desorber (TD) models in both single-tube and automated 50-tube configurations. This broad offering allows you to match technology to your laboratory and applications needs.

TurboMatrix 100 TD

-        Single-tube, manual-pneumatics model

-        Includes a separate trap-clean-and-test function, which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.

-        Upgradeable to TurboMatrix 150 ATD.

TurboMatrix 150 ATD

-        Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes

-        Manual pneumatics.

-        Overlaps tube desorption with GC analysis for optimum productivity.

-        Includes a separate trap-clean-and-test function which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.

TurboMatrix 300 TD

-        Single-tube model, incorporating programmable pneumatic control (PPC)

-        Supports pressure and flow control with linear velocity read-out of the carrier gas through the GC column.

-        Includes a separate trap-clean-and-test function which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.

-        Upgradeable to TurboMatrix 350 ATD.

TurboMatrix 350 ATD

-        Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes, incorporating PPC.

-        Supports pressure and flow control with linear velocity read-out of the carrier gas through the GC column.

-        Overlaps tube desorption with GC analysis for optimum productivity.

-        Allows the ability to condition tubes during chromatography to minimize downtime and enhance productivity

-        Includes a separate trap clean-and-test function which saves time and protects the GC column and detector.

TurboMatrix 650 ATD

-        Automated sampling of up to 50 tubes, incorporating all of the performance features of the TurboMatrix 350 ATD model plus the ability to re-collect sample (on the source or a new tube) for repeat analysis

-        The ability to perform dry purge of the tube in sampling direction without the internal standard accessory

-       The ability to perform tube and trap impedance measurement as a diagnostic of adsorbent bed condition.
