This file is the CIA 8 specification sheet released by Markes International, which introduces the functions and features of CIA 8, including the ability to be used for tagged or untagged tubes, provides a universal TD platform, compatible with all TD applications, uses an electrically cooled focusing trap and a patented inert heated valve to ensure the recovery of the broadest range of analytes, including C2 to n-C40 hydrocarbons and reactive species such as mercaptans.
The Markes International CIA 8 is an 8-channel free-standing Canister Interface Accessory designed to connect to the UNITY 2 thermal desorber. It extends the system's compatibility to include whole-air and gas samples, such as canisters and Tedlar bags, enabling method-compliant analysis of ambient air toxics per US EPA Method TO-15 and other standards. The system features thermostatted internal flow paths, a heated interface to the UNITY 2 unit, and the capability for internal standard addition via an inert loop.
