General description

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Thermal desorption tubes are reusable at least 50 to 100 times, and reduces the usage of accessories like transfer vials, caps, and pipette tips, thus aligns with “Waste Prevention”. Also, these tubes eliminate the usage of toxic solvents like CS2 to extract the VOCs of interest, and thus aligns with “Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries” principle. Click here for more information.

Application


  • Determination of 67 volatile organic compounds in ambient air using thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.: This research outlines the effectiveness of Tenax® TA in the broad-spectrum analysis of air quality, crucial for environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance (Zhu et al., 2019 doi:10.3724/SP.J.1123.2019.04043).

  • Chromatographic analysis of the traces of 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile with passive adsorption from the headspace on Tenax TA and Carbotrap 300.: This study highlights the utility of Tenax® TA in forensic science for capturing and analyzing trace chemical residues, which is crucial for legal and investigative purposes (Borusiewicz, 2019 doi:10.1016/j.forsciint.2019.109933).

  • Recovery and reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons collected on selected sorbent tubes and analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.: This publication demonstrates the role of Tenax® TA in the efficient capture and analysis of complex organic pollutants, important for studies on pollution and its effects on health and the environment (Wallace et al., 2019 doi:10.1016/j.chroma.2019.05.030).

  • A New Method for Workplace Monitoring of Airborne Diacetyl and 2,3-Pentanedione Using Thermal Desorption Tubes and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry.: This research describes a new method utilizing Tenax® TA for monitoring harmful volatile compounds in workplace environments, contributing to occupational safety and health standards (Pengelly and Brown, 2019 doi:10.1093/annweh/wxz014).

  • Innovative coupling of supercritical fluid extraction with ion mobility spectrometry.: Outlines a novel analytical approach integrating Tenax® TA, enhancing the efficiency and sensitivity of chemical analyses, particularly useful in complex mixture separations in research and industrial applications (Jurado-Campos et al., 2018 doi:10.1016/j.talanta.2018.06.045).
