Thermal desorption (TD) is the ultimate technology for introducing samples into gas chromatography. This technique allows for the direct introduction of volatile (VOC) and semi-volatile (COSV) compounds from a wide range of sample matrices into a GC or GC/MS system. Versatile, highly sensitive and fully automated, TD has become the method of choice for environmental applications for detecting pollutants and emissions from materials, as well as for food and perfumery analysis.
This document presents Agilent Technologies' complete range of thermal desorption (TD) solutions for sample preparation and analysis. It highlights the partnership between Agilent and Markes International, positioning Agilent as the exclusive supplier for purchasing, maintenance, and support for TD/GC/SM systems. The text emphasizes the superiority of thermal desorption over solvent extraction for analyzing volatile and semi-volatile compounds in environmental, food, and fragrance applications.

The UNITY series 2 uses electrical refrigeration to trap samples at -30 °C.
The UNITY series 2 combined with CIA 8 is totally compliant with the American EPA TO-15 method for air toxic pollutants.
